Automation of Batch Reactor for Vegetable Oil Biotransformation Using Arduino for Real-time Process Monitoring
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: "This study advances the efficiency and accuracy of enzymatic hydrolysisreactions by employing Arduino-based real-time monitoring systems. Arduinoplatforms, featuring programmable microcontrollers and an Integrated DevelopmentEnvironment (IDE), provide a low-cost, user-friendly solution with essential processingand control capabilities. The research focuses on a cost-effective batch reactor forvegetable oil biotransformation, integrating temperature and pH control mechanisms.Sensors DS18B20 and PH4502C were calibrated with an R² of 0.99. Testing of licurioil hydrolysis showed the system effectively monitored reaction parameters, achievinga 95% conversion rate in 150 minutes. This approach demonstrates the potential ofusing low-cost microcontrollers for broader applications in bioprocess monitoring,paving the way for more accessible and efficient biotransformation technologies."
