General Objectives of WP1 (I)

• Providing data at lab, pilot and industrial scale
  for the best identification and modelling of the
  process
• Defining a protocol for the calibration of the
  TELEMAC system on a new plant

? Normal functioning
? Abnormal functioning

General Objectives of WP1 (II)

• Validating the control and supervision system at
  lab, pilot and industrial scale
• Evaluating the performances of the TELEMAC system

WP1.2 Experiment running

• A first version of Deliverable 1.3a completed in
  due time (report written by USC)

• Data base of experimental data sets of lab scale
  (USC) experiments were supplied
• Start-up and two organic overloads in CSTR.
• Start-up of UASB
• Previous data sets of lab, pilot and industrial
  scale processes were collected and supplied in an
  adequate format for modelling (Data from Agralco,
  INRA, Domecq Sauza, USC).
• Pilot, preindustrial and industrial scale plants
  are starting up or ready (fully equipped and
  instrumented) (Agralco, ENEA and Domecq Sauza).

WP1 Efforts for the 1st project year
26
Plan for the next year

• Further experimentation at lab scale (CSTR and
  UASB) according to the established protocols,

• Development of pilot (UASB) and preindustrial
  (CSTR) scale experiments, D1.3b should be ready
  at t20,

• Beginning of the experiments at industrial scale,

• Developing a protocol for setting up TELEMAC
  system on a new plant, D1.2 must be ready at t24.
