Abstract:
In the future, biogas production processes must be more cost efficient than they are now. The factors affecting the process must also be better identifiable and manageable. The aim of this study is to develop the processes, monitoring, and process diagnostics of biogas plants in order to meet the increasing business environment demands of the future. Comprehensive optimisation and monitoring of biogas plants and their end products will be studied in the course of this research project. The research will determine the central biogas process parameters which should be under constant monitoring at the plant in order to enable optimum monitoring and adjustment of the process. The currently monitored parameters include the amount of gas formed, the CH4 content of the gas, the pH level and temperature inside the digester. This study will provide new information on techniques that can be applied to mixing processes at biogas plants, which is something companies can utilise extensively in their business operations. The results can be widely mobilised and duplicated for present and future biorefineries and the companies manufacturing and selling them. This study is part of the GASOPTI project.
