The Performance of CO2 and CH4 Detection Comparison between Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Biogas Portable Monitoring (Biogas 5000)

Abstract

Thailand currently has a waste production rate of 1.5 kilograms per person per day. Municipal solid waste management by sanitary landfill system. Staff and workers are in the landfill area such as waste sorting workers, Junk worker, Researchers, etc. At the same time, biogas has been measured in landfill areas to be utilized in various fields. The method of measurement, people are also used directly to the biogas Sampling in the area. Which has danger for the workers, therefore the application of unmanned aerial vehicle and then installing a biogas sensor, for use in the measurement of biogas sampling in landfill and then compared with the biogas portable monitoring (Biogas 5000). The objectives of this study were 1) To study the efficiency of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Sensor Arduino programs for detecting CO₂ and CH₄ on measurements with a biogas portable monitoring (Biogas 5000). 2) To study the time period and optimal for measuring CO₂ and CH₄. 3) To study the effect of environmental factors, temperature and air velocity on the measurement of CO₂ and CH₄. The application of Unmanned aerial vehicle in conjunction with the Arduino board and set the flight phase is the morning (9.00 - 11.00 a.m.), Afternoon (1.00 - 3.00 p.m.) and in the evening (5.00 - 7.00 p.m.) The elevation level at ground level, at height 50 centimeters level and at height 100 centimeters level.อังกฤษ การแปล  From the experiments showed that at ground level, the Biogas 5000 and UAV Biogas sensor were able to measure and record results, but at heights of 50 and 100 centimeters, biogas 5000 could not be measured due to measurement restrictions at biogas 5000. The environmental factors such as air heating can result in the flight of unmanned aerial vehicle not being fully operational. During the air variability period, the enforcement of unmanned aerial vehicle did not success as planned. In addition, it was found that the CO₂ and CH₄ gas detection with the developed gas meter was found. Measured during high temperature and the ground level gave similar results to that of biogas analyzer.
