Abstract: Provided is a non-linear model predictive control (NMPC) system for automatic and optimum start-up of an anaerobic digestion (AD) system. The NMPC provides an optimum set of values of manipulated variables for controlling some of the key AD process variables during start-up. The NMPC based automatic start-up system was evaluated against a virtual AD process plant scenario involving a high rate AD reactor treating a readily biodegradable carbohydrate based substrate.
