Multivariable PID control of an activated sludge wastewater treatment process

In general, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consists of several stages before it is released to a receiving water body. There are, preliminary and primary treatment (mechanical treatment), a secondary treatment (biological treatment) and a tertiary treatment (chemical treatment). In this chapter,...

Description
Summary:In general, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consists of several stages before it is released to a receiving water body. There are, preliminary and primary treatment (mechanical treatment), a secondary treatment (biological treatment) and a tertiary treatment (chemical treatment). In this chapter, since the work involve of identification and control design of activated sludge process to improve the performance of the system, and most of the control priorities are centred on the biological treatment process, only the secondary treatment will be highlighted.
