New Control Strategy Design to Improve Effluent Quality in Wastewater Treatment Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Benchmark of the European group COST 624 aims to compare control strategies of activated sludge processes in Wastewater Treatment Plants. In this paper, the design of the control strategy has been oriented so as to improve the effluent quality. An accurate reduced model of the ASM1 model has been established using singular perturbations techniques. This model has been used in a sensitivity analysis for the selection of I/O variables for the controller. The results lead to a new control strategy, which is tested with an L/A control law. The simulation results show that the effluent quality is really improved. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Considerable investments have been made in establishing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, evaluation of the performance of plants during recent years, when more WWTPs have become operational, shows that effluent quality criteria were not met in many instances. Preliminary assessment of the operational problems of WWTPs in Iran disclosed that numerous factors affect this issue of eff...

متن کاملMultiple response optimization of the coagulation process for upgrading the quality of effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plant
To meet the high quality standard of receiving water, the coagulation process using polyferric chloride (PFC) was used to further improve the water quality of effluent from wastewater treatment plants. Uniform design (UD) coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) was adopted to assess the effects of the main influence factors: coagulant dosage, pH and basicity, on the removal of total org...
