In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.
ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

During the recent years, PM2.5 concentration is rising above the safety exposure limit in Thailand. PM2.5 could have originated from various sources such as exhaust fumes, open air burning, wildfire, etc. This concludes that all cities or places would have different PM source contributions. Most studies regarding the PM source findings were done based on chemical analysis. Our research team would like to predict the PM sources physically by nanostructures analysis. These methods would require the PM dust to be collected in a limited amount of time and dry. The use of paper filters may cause contamination from filter material which may cause errors in result evaluation. Our team suggests using Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) where electrostatics is used to capture PM dust. This research mainly focuses on designing and building the ESP system for PM collection whereas the requirement is to collect at least 100 mg of PM dust within 1 day which would be adequate for nanostructure analysis. The study revealed that the customized ESP system could achieve of up to 80% collecting efficiency (which is more than the commercial ESP that we previously used), there’s a also a parametric study of relationships between flow velocity and collecting efficiency where collecting efficiency is inversely proportional to flow velocity. The suggested air velocity is not to exceed 2 m/s. However, there’re still more room for improvement of the ESP system for PM collection such as the convenience of PM collection process which resulted from the ESP construction geometry and sizes.

This cooperative education report presents a project for developing a Distributed Control System (DCS) for boilers in a sugar factory. The objective is to enhance the control system for boilers 1-8 to operate cohesively within the DCS framework provided by ABB, utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software. The overall functionality of the system involves creating a control program that begins with the utilization of bagasse, a byproduct from the sugar extraction process, as fuel for the boiler. The program manages various operations of the boiler, including the intake of air into the combustion chamber, the internal functioning of the boiler, and the treatment of flue gases before their release into the atmosphere. The project encompasses the development of the DCS program, the design and creation of HMI display graphics, the study and design of the boiler control system, the documentation of the project, and the control processes utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software, culminating in the operational outcomes.
