Abstract

One booming concept that has recently gained significant attention in waste management is the “bioreactor landfill”. Despite the potential benefits of operating landfills as bioreactors, there are no standardized operational guidelines and procedures for the system due to the numerous processes and site-specific variables involved. This paper introduces an innovative technology that employs automated monitoring and expert control in the operation of bioreactor landfills. The proposed control system combines multiple interacting hardware and software components, and is coined as SMART (Sensor-based Monitoring and Remote-control Technology). SMART features a fuzzy logic decision engine that mimics the control actions of an experienced human operator. This technology aims to provide optimum conditions for the biodegradation of municipal solid waste, and also, to improve the profitability of the bioreactor landfill in terms of biogas production and space recovery.

生物反应器填埋场的智能控制

“生物反应器填埋”是最近在废物管理领域引起极大关注的一个蓬勃发展的概念。尽管将垃圾填埋场作为生物反应器操作有潜在的好处，但由于涉及许多过程和具体地点的变量，该系统没有标准化的操作指南和程序。本文介绍了在生物反应器填埋场运行中采用自动化监测和专家控制的创新技术。提出的控制系统结合了多个相互作用的硬件和软件组件，并被称为SMART(基于传感器的监测和远程控制技术)。SMART的特点是一个模糊逻辑决策引擎，模仿一个有经验的人类操作员的控制动作。该技术旨在为城市生活垃圾的生物降解提供最佳条件，并提高生物反应器填埋场在沼气生产和空间回收方面的盈利能力。
