Supervision software
ODIN
Participants : Olivier Bernard, Francesco Novellis.
The latest developments of the bioreactor supervision platform ODIN were dedicated to software re-structuration (together with Mélaine Gauthier, from Inria Chile) in order to get more fluidity and more flexibility between modules and in order to support an on line simulator. The connection with a local data base has simplified the management of previous data acquisition and it also allows to “replay” data which were previously recorded. The coupling with the software developed by INRA (Silex) was refactored into a software named MEMO.
ODIN has been tested on four different processes especially (with Eric Latrille) to supervise the 66m2 high rate pond at the LBE, INRA Narbonne. It has also been used at Lesaffre facilities by the BioEnTech company. New algorithms have been successfully tested to control a high-rate anaerobic digestion process.
Inlgae
Participants : Etienne Delclaux, Francis Mairet, Quentin Béchet, Olivier Bernard.
The Inlgae platform has been optimised to make it faster. Some of the key models have been rewritten in C++ to allow a faster computation. Models have been improved to include, in the growth rate computation, the composition of the light spectrum. The graphical user interface has been enhanced and several sets of parameters describing different microalgal species have been stored. Post treatments with Matlab have been implemented to account for slope of the land, its nature, and the distance to CO2 and nutrient sources. The platform supported a study for the French Agency for the development and master of energy (ADEME) managed by ENEA consulting. We could simulate the potential of micro -and macro-algal cultivation in France in 2030, after using the NEF cluster with 300 CPUs (it took 10 days of computation).
