Desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta computacional com acesso remoto para monitoramento de biorreatores anaeróbios

Abstract

The water and sewage treatment practices have obtained a growing demand for technologies that promote eco-efficiency, the need for constant monitoring and precision of bioreactors requires the use of high-tech equipment. Thus, the purpose of the study through the application of these resources is to seek the integration of these technologies employed with the construction of a bench for testing in anaerobic membrane bioreactors, both frontal and tangential and a pressure control software in reactors for both BMP tests (Methane Biochemical Potential) and for Specific Methanogenic Activity (AME) testing at affordable cost for market and research use. Such controls will be employed through the use of an Arduino board and pressure sensors from the MPX5700AP series, allowing remote monitoring, in addition to having an open source system based on the Arduino platform, and the experimental results obtained through the Bioreactor Online Monitoring System (SISMONBIO). The system was implemented in the laboratory of the State University of Paraíba in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba - Brazil. This work describes the parameters to be monitored, as well as the operation of the Arduino-based system. Finally, it will be possible to monitor the bioreactors from any location only through remote access with a tool that presents a technology with a precision of results and low cost when compared to what is currently on the market, meeting the existing demands.
