Automação da coleta de dados no ensaio de batelada na produção de biogás

Abstract

Biogas is an alternative energy source that uses waste to produce biomethane and electrical energy. For this industry to develop, a strong involvement of research is necessary to improve the entire gas production process, such as batch production tests. To develop the research, this paper demonstrates the automation of the pressure data collection system in a batch trial in biogas production. Through opensource platforms to provide a better costbenefit against the acquisition of information, providing a reduction in the time of data extraction and expanding possibilities for the development of automation in the research sector related to biogas production and development of technologies. According to the results obtained it was possible to verify the efficiency of the developed project because it was able to meet the defined objectives. Thus, the equipment developed with the elaboration of the project was approved and used in the company in question, as a standard in the BMP (Biochemical Methane Potential) analyses performed.
