Abstract

In this paper, an integrated object-oriented fuzzy logic fault detection and isolation (FDI) module for a biological wastewater treatment process is presented. The defined FDI strategy and the software implementation are detailed. Using experimental results obtained with a one cubic meter fixed bed reactor for the anaerobic digestion of industrial wine distillery vinasses, examples of material and biological failures are presented together with the corresponding fault signals generated by the FDI module.
