Automation systems in biogas plants ensure the efficient processing of organic waste and the management of energy production processes with maximum efficiency. Advanced automation solutions used in these facilities enable continuous monitoring, control, and optimization of all processes. This ensures the continuity of biogas production, increases energy efficiency, and minimizes environmental impact.
The biological breakdown process of microorganisms in reactors is continuously monitored in real-time using SCADA systems. Parameters such as pH, temperature (35-40°C mesophilic, 50-60°C thermophilic), pressure, and sludge levels are constantly monitored to ensure optimal biogas production. PLC-based systems minimize fluctuations in gas production, ensuring a stable production process.
The produced biogas is purified of impurities before being transferred to storage units. Sulfur removal, moisture extraction, and carbon dioxide separation are carried out by automatic control systems. Through SCADA software, the quality of the gas is analyzed and optimal conditions for the storage process are established.
The generators and cogeneration systems that convert biogas into energy work in integration with automation systems. The gas flow rate, combustion efficiency, and energy output are continuously monitored to ensure the system operates at maximum efficiency. The produced energy is automatically directed to the grid or units within the facility.
