Abstract:Taking a project in the southwest region as an example, a machine learning enhanced dry anaerobic digestion process for kitchen waste is proposed. The overall technological framework, anaerobic digestion and dewatering process flow, key design indicators and main equipment specifications are introduced. A two-factor state evaluation model centered on volatile fatty acids and total alkalinity is established. An online least squares support vector machine algorithm is adopted to construct a data-driven state prediction model, which predicts the indicators in real time during the high-risk commissioning stage, thereby enhancing the risk resistance of the dry anaerobic digestion process. The mean square error of the data-driven model is 0.0034. The actual operation data show that this process performs well in terms of organic loading, organic matter degradation rate, and the ratio of biogas residue to raw material.
