Temperature Control During Storage of Raw Materials in the Process of Biodiesel Fuel Production

In the modern conditions of the growing consumer market for environmentally friendly industries, the issue of optimizing resource-intensive and energy-intensive technological chains is acute. One of the most expensive stages is the storage of grain—raw materials for the production of biodiesel. This is due to there being no unified temperature control system. In this paper, the authors have developed a mathematical model and a hardware–software complex that allows for the measurement of the temperature field in grain storage areas. To address this challenge, the authors employed methodologies derived from spatial distributed systems to construct a mathematical model. The development of a technical device and the implementation of a software module for processing the measured data in C++ Builder were then undertaken.
