An experimental system for the control of wastewater treatment plants
- Customer
- Domžale-Kamnik wastewater treatment plant
- Duration
- 2002 - 2003
- Objectives
- Ensure stable process operation, improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment, reduce the operational costs by means of savings of energy and reactants.
- Description
- Control of ammonia concentration in aerobic reactors
- Innovation
- Aeration control based on online measurements of the ammonia concentrations in the influent and in the aerobic reactor control algorithms combining feedforward and feedback control.
- Benefits
- Lower ammonia peaks at the effluent along with a 45% reduction of the electrical energy needed for aeration.
