Control manual of the prototype
Aeris is responsible for the design and construction of BIOGASNET prototype in collaboration with UCA and UPC.
The BIOGASNET prototype will be implemented in two different facilities with different biogas sources in order to validate the proposed technology and to demonstrate its robustness under different conditions. Firstly, the prototype will be installed and operated at the Miramundo-Los Hardales landfill located in Cádiz (Spain) and then will be moved to a Municipal solid waste management plant (MSWTP) in Athens (Greece). The pilot plant consists in two main equipment: a nitrification bioreactor that will be fed by landfill leachate (Cádiz scenario) and an anoxic biotrickling filter that will be fed by the effluent for the nitrification bioreactor and the biogas from the landfill wells. To be implemented in Athens scenario, the pilot plant will be expanded with a scrubber to carry out the absorption of the ammonium in water and this water will be used to feed the nitrification bioreactor.
The current document contains the description of the control loops designed and implemented for the Cádiz site prototype. The description includes all the set-points and operating conditions for the proper PLC programming.
