AI Technical Summary
Current methods for diagnosing faults in anaerobic digesters are inefficient and slow, often taking weeks to return to stable operation after a fault is detected, necessitating advanced and timely fault detection to maintain high biogas productivity and reduce idle times.
A method using a reverse engineering approach with MM-AD simulations to identify input variations by comparing measured and expected output parameters, setting a threshold deviation to detect operational faults in real-time.
Enables early detection and prediction of faults, allowing for timely corrections to maintain efficient digester operation and prevent idle times, thereby enhancing productivity and reducing downtime.
