Wireless Sensors Monitor Bioreactor

摘要

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, in collaboration with the Charlotte office of the construction firm s&me, Inc., have developed a wireless method of monitoring the sensitive environment in a bioreactor landfill. To test the system, they have built a scale model of a bioreactor and installed an array of wireless sensors that monitor moisture and temperature inside. The investigators believe that the wireless sensors will obviate the need for a costly wiring system while providing the accurate information needed to maintain the best possible operating conditions in a bioreactor.
