Abstract:
System to control a biogas collection plant having a manifold and a plurality of collection units connecting respective capturing wells to the manifold and having respective biogas flow rate regulation valves; the system having a control board with a pressure sensor, a methane sensor, an oxygen sensor, a biogas pressure monitoring network connecting the pressure sensor to the collection units by means of respective control valves, and a chemical biogas monitoring network connecting the methane sensor and the oxygen sensor to the collection units by means of as many control valves; the control board selectively controlling the control valves to measure pressure, methane concentration and oxygen concentration of the biogas in the collection units and controlling the regulation valves as a function of the pressure and methane and oxygen concentration values measured.

Claim (Index 4):
A control system according to  claim 3 , wherein said first biogas pressure monitoring network connects said pressure sensor in first points of the collection units upstream of the relative regulation valves, relative to the direction of circulation of the biogas in the relative feeding pipes, so that the first pressures (Pa) relate to the biogas in said first points, and each collection unit comprises an inlet pipe that can be connected to the respective capturing well; the control system comprising a plurality of calibrated flanges, each of which can be mounted in the inlet pipe of a respective collection unit so that the relative first point is upstream of the calibrated flange, and a second biogas pressure monitoring network, which is designed to connect the pressure sensor to the inlet pipes in a fluid-dynamic manner in respective second points downstream of the relative calibrated flanges and comprises, for each collection unit, a respective third control valve; said control unit being configured to selectively control the third control valves so as to measure, for each collection unit, said reference pressure (Pb) as the pressure of the biogas in the relative second point and to determine said flow rate (Q) as a function of the differential pressure (P) and of the inner diameter of the relative calibrated flange.
