Abstract
The design and implementation of a new adaptive controller for anaerobic digesters is presented using a general nonlinear model and an uncertainty estimation scheme. The primary advantage of this strategy over standard adaptive controllers is that biogas flow rate measurements are not required. The resulting controller is similar in form to standard adaptive controllers and it can be tuned analogously. The adaptive control strategy has been implemented in a pilot-scale anaerobic digester showing good performance and robustness against changes in the feed load.
