Abstract: This work is aimed at designing the controlling, supervising and monitoring strategy of temperature, presion, level and pH process variables for a biodigestión pilot plant by using a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a Supervision Control and Acquisition of Data (SCADA) in order to interact with the process as soon as possible without the need of manual operation by its different actors. This system permits to control the variables in a manual way by automatically operating each variable in its own range so that the user can program groups of ranges and spam until process stabilization. Therefore, process optimization is needed allowing the evaluation of biogas and fermentation level production in order to define true storage capacity to build new plants. In addition, it provides several users both those of the same level or skills and different supervisors within the enterprise who deal whit quality control, supervision and maintenance with all the information generated in the productive process.

Resumen: Este trabajo consiste en diseñar la estrategia de control, supervisión y monitoreo de las variables del proceso la temperatura, presión, nivel y pH de una planta piloto de biodigestión, utilizando un controlador lógico programable (PLC) y un control
de supervisión y adquisición de datos (SCADA) para interactuar con el proceso en el menor tiempo posible sin necesidad de operar manualmente con los diferentes actores. El sistema permite controlar las variables de una forma manual operando cada variable en su propio rango y de forma automática donde el usuario programa grupos de rangos y tiempos hasta estabilizar el proceso. Por lo tanto, se busca optimizar el proceso permitiendo la evaluación de la producción de biogás y grados de fermentación para definir las capacidades de almacenamiento reales para la construcción de nuevas plantas.

Además, provee de toda la información que se genera en el proceso productivo a diversos usuarios, tanto del mismo nivel como de otros supervisores dentro de la empresa: control de calidad, supervisión, mantenimiento.

Keywords: Biogas, Biodigestión Process, Simulation, Programmable logic controller, Supervision Control and Acquisition of Data.
