1. A landfill flare anti-vibration system comprising:
a first vibration transmitter installed on the landfill flare;
a second vibration transmitter installed on a mounting location at or near the landfill and configured to measure vibrations from the landfill flare, wherein the mounting location is within a radius of influence of the landfill flare;
a programmable logic controller operatively connected to the first vibration transmitter and the second vibration transmitter, wherein the programmable logic controller is configured to receive signals from the first vibration transmitter and the second vibration transmitter relating to vibrations from the landfill flare and, if the vibrations from the landfill flare exceed an alarm setpoint value, send a command to instruct one or more blowers operatively associated with the landfill flare to lower the flow of landfill gas to the landfill flare.
