Application of artificial intelligence to maximize methane production from waste paper

Abstract

This article proposes a methodology based on artificial intelligence to enhance methane production from waste paper. The proposed methodology combines fuzzy logic-based modelling and modern optimization. Firstly, a robust Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System model of methane production process through fuzzy logic modelling is created using experimental datasets. Second, a particle swarm optimizer was used to obtain the optimal process conditions. During the optimization procedure, the beating time and feedstock/inoculum ratio are employed as decision variables in order to maximize methane production. The obtained resulted from the proposed methodology are compared with those obtained by response surface methodology. The results of the comparison confirmed the superiority of the proposed methodology. The fuzzy model shows a better fitting to the experimental data compared to ANOVA. The fuzzy model showed a higher coefficient of determination and a lower value of root mean squared errors compared to ANOVA. Moreover, the proposed strategy, that is, modelling and optimization, is an effective method for increasing the biomethane yield at extended range conditions.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence into Biogas Plant Operation

“…In this model it was aimed to find a new method to produce clean energy with the help of modern technology like IOT and AI [129,131]. Moreover, Olabi et al (2020) aimed at maximizing the methane production from wastepaper via the integration of AI to the monitoring [14].…”

“…Artificial Intelligence (AI), which briefly is the usage of data science to be able to create predictive and self-deciding systems and environments and provides efficient alternative for conventional methods, has made great progress in various areas in recent years [10][11][12]. As it is commonly used in other industries, artificial intelligence tools can be used for designing and optimizing complex AD process [13,14]. In addition, future biogas plants in Germany will be operated more flexibly than today regarding maintenance and production of biogas, which will require improved monitoring [15][16][17].…”
