Aiming at features of biogas fermentation process and difficulties of control, a practical control scheme is proposed combining the abundant experience of biogas experts. And it discussed the structural design and hardware configuration of the expert control system, established the database and role base, and designed the control strategy of production system inference. The design scheme with ZigBee and PDA technology as core is employed so as to solve problems of environmental factor detection and data transfer management. The test result shows that the deviation of temperature is controlled within ± 0.9℃, the deviation of pH is controlled within ±0.3, the deviation of oxidation-reduction potential is controlled within ±30mV, the deviation of gas production is controlled within ± 9mL and that of methane concentration is controlled within ±4.5%. This system is easily expandable and applicable to biogas engineering at various scales.展开更多
