Abstract:

The objective of the investigation was to review and evaluate the present state-of-the art technology for automating new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities, and for upgrading the performance of existing treatment plants. The study may permit the more efficient and efficient and economic operation of treatment facilities subjected to variations in organic and inorganic loading while maintaining effluent quality in conformance with increasingly strigent antipollution standards. Presented and evaluated are automatic control systems for specific wastewater unit processes as well as the interfacing of these various systems to provide complete control of the wastewater treatment process.
