چکیده
This work explores the possibilities of improving eco-efficiency Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) introducing a plant-wide perspective in formulation control strategy. Eco-efficiency goals are contemplated analysis appropriateness actions, considering seasonal effects temperature into decision-making process. Plant-wide strategy handles operation variables activated sludge process, volume primary clarifier, and anaerobic digester. Performance is evaluated terms energy use, biogas production, effluent quality, emissions to air soil, annual bimestrial average values indicators capture effect temperature. The result set possible solutions, obtained from multi-objective procedure, consisting on sequence actions applied at different temporal windows that improve plant. results when applying solutions make evident how application strategies useful performance represent individual goals, leading trade-off describe WWTPs’ eco-efficiency.

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Life-Cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment Plants
This thesis presents a general model for the carbon footprints analysis of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. In previous research, the issue of global warming is often related to traditional industries with high carbon dioxide (C0 2) emissions, such as power plants and transportation. However, the analyses of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) h...
متن کاملModel Based Control of Wastewater Treatment Plants
In the contribution a (non-exhaustive) overview is given on the use of mathematical models in control systems of wastewater treatment plants. As a starting point, the four building blocks of any controlled process are used, 1) the process itself, 2) the actuators that allow manipulation of the process, 3) the control algorithm that calculates a proper action for disturbance rejection or setpoin...
متن کاملEfficiency of Fenton Process in Olive Oil Mill Wastewater Treatment
Background and purpose: Wastewater olive processing industries have significant amounts of organic compounds resistant to biodegradation which are hazardous if not treated and discharged to the environment. Advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton process have been considered to increase and improve the biological degradability of this type of wastewater. Current study aimed at investigating...

In 1990, the private company Aquafin was founded and assigned with the task of the design, construction, operation and financing of the necessary infrastructure for sewage treatment. One of the challenges Aquafin is facing now is to upgrade the patrimonium of old municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). These plants need to be retrofitted towards strict phosphorus and nitrogen removal con...
