Feed control of anaerobic digestion processes for renewable energy production: A review
详细信息    查看全文
文摘
Over the last 40 years many different control methodologies for substrate feed control of anaerobic digestion processes have been proposed in order to increase plant efficiency and sustainable long-term energy production. This review shows that although sophisticated controllers exist, full-scale biogas plants are mostly still operated without a closed-loop feed control. No matter which application, such control always has to find a compromise between maximizing economic yield, minimizing the ecological footprint and minimizing the risk of process failure. For anaerobic wastewater treatment, control systems which come close to this ideal, exist, but for agricultural as well as industrial biogas plants such control has not yet been developed and neither been successfully implemented and validated at full-scale. Main challenges are a lack of robust and reliable process monitoring using online instrumentation as well as a conservative industry which is reluctant towards the implementation of fully automated process control strategies.
