Diseño e implementación de un sistema de detección y monitoreo de gas metano en una maqueta de planta de tratamiento de aguas

Abstract

This technical Project aims to carry out the design and implementation of a detection and monitoring system for methane gas, the main byproduct of anaerobic decomposition of organic matter from wastewater. It is a combustible hydrocarbon of high energy value, colorless and odorless. It is not normally found in large quantities in wastewater, since even small amounts of oxygen tend to be toxic. For this, it is going to be prevent that in the treatment plants there is a risk of fire due to the high production of methane due to anaerobic decomposition. This solves the problem that due to the existence of a spark that occurs around the plan’s pool, a fire hazard is generated
