Control of Wastewater Treatment Plants : Classical and Advanced Control Strategies

Omtale

This book explores various control strategies designed and implemented for biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), including benchmark simulation model no. 1 (BSM1) and model no. 2 (BSM2), with a focus on the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. It covers the design of conventional proportional integral (PI) and fractional PI controllers, as well as advanced controllers like model predictive control (MPC) and fuzzy control (FC), along with their evaluation. The book also examines the influence of these controllers on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The aims of this book are as follows:To provide detailed chapters on advanced control strategies for control of wastewater treatment plantsTo include a description of advanced control strategies (hierarchical, fuzzy, MPC)To cover energy usage minimization while treating wastewaterTo offer a practical guide to operators working in the field of wastewater treatmentTo review strategies to reduce GHG emissions using BSM1 and BSM2 modelsThis book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in process control and wastewater treatment.
