Title :
The importance of standard SCADA protocols to the reliable operation of distributed farm-scale anaerobic digesters
Author_Institution :
Clarkson Univ., Potsdam, NY
Abstract :
The Clarkson University portable anaerobic digester was operated for a period of three months utilizing only local control and data acquisition. Operational and failure data from that experimental run is discussed and a method of how standard SCADA protocols can be employed to improve system uptime is presented.
