The development of an advanced monitoring and control system for industrial scale anaerobic treatment of wood processing factories’ wastewaters was the aim of a Research Project (AMOCO) developed by a number of groups (Belgium, France, Portugal and Spain) during the last three years. In this paper, the characteristics of the wastewater treatment plants used in this project, as well as their instrumentation are described. Furthermore, the experimental protocol adopted by the partners to obtain information for developing control tools (based on mathematical models, fuzzy models or heuristic rules) and the main results of their application to the treatment processes are presented.
