Project Portfolio Spotlight: Biomass Pyrolysis Controls System

Objectives:

Create a controls and data acquisition system for a pilot biomass pyrolysis plant used in a university research setting. Integrate process control, temperature control, data logging and visualization in a single easy-to-learn system.

Key Functional Elements:

• PAX technology integrated into a custom application
• PC-based data logging and visualization at configurable rates
• Custom recipe settings applied to the system
• PID control for temperature management of the process
• CompactRIO control system
