Benchmarking of Control Strategies for Wastewater Treatment Plants

摘要: Wastewater treatment plants are large non-linear systems subject to perturbations in wastewater flow rate, load and composition. Nevertheless these have be operated continuously, meeting stricter regulations. Many control strategies been proposed the literature for improved more efficient operation of plants. Unfortunately, their evaluation comparison – either practical or based on simulation is difficult. This partly due variability influent, complexity biological biochemical phenomena range time constants (from a few minutes several days). The lack standard criteria also tremendous disadvantage. To really enhance acceptance innovative strategies, such an needs rigorous methodology including model, plant layout, controllers, sensors, performance test procedures, i.e. complete benchmarking protocol. This book Scientific Technical Report produced by IWA Task Group Benchmarking Control Strategies Treatment Plants . goal includes developing models tools that encompass most typical unit processes within system (primary treatment, activated sludge, sludge etc.), as well will enable long-term monitoring tasks (i.e. automatic detection sensor process faults). Work extensions has carried out during past five years, main results summarized Besides description final version already well-known Benchmark Simulation Model no. 1 (BSM1), Long-Term (BSM1_LT) with focus plant-wide 2 (BSM2).
