寄语:”I have been doing research on instrumentation, control, and automation (ICA) in wastewater systems for more than four decades and appreciate the crucial need of reliable instrumentation for feedback control. This need is widely recognized within the ICA specialist group of IWA, the International Water Association, where I have been active for many years.
Controlling anaerobic digestion has been considered notoriously difficult because of lack of reliable instrumentation. I have closely followed the work by Dr. Jing Liu for more than two decades, ever since he was a brilliant PhD student at Lund University. Bioprocess Control under the leadership of Dr Liu has significantly increased the potential for successful feedback control of digesters and biogas production. Smart instrumentation for estimating methane gas potential and measuring small and large gas flows accurately and automatically is of vital importance.
Instruments developed by Bioprocess Control are not limited to biogas production but have a much wider potential. New applications are discovered regularly. There is no coincidence that Bioprocess Control’s instruments have been recognized worldwide as technology leaders, both for full-scale operations and for research lab applications. An important reason for success is that Bioprocess Control connects its advanced instrumentation technology with a deep process knowledge. There is a huge potential for better supervision and control, and the challenge is now to make operators and designers aware of the possibilities that reliable instrumentation offers.” – Prof. Gustaf Olsson
