MONITORING AND CONTROL OF pH FOR FOOD WASTE DISPOSAL, STORAGE, AND TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method are provided for a food loading station located at a facility that processes food waste. The food loading station (102) has a disposer (108) that grinds food waste. A storage tank (105) receives a slurry of food waste and water from the disposer for storage until the slurry is collected for transportation to a processing facility. A monitor (330) is in communication with a controller (124) connected to the disposer, receives pH data from the controller, compares the pH data with at least one of a pH range and a pH threshold and generates a pH adjustment recommendation including at least one of a type and an amount of an additive for introduction to the storage tank to adjust the pH of the slurry based on the comparison. A terminal (332) associated with the facility and connected to the remote monitor receives the pH adjustment recommendation.
