Instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) in wastewater treatment systems is now an
established and recognised area of technology in the profession. There are obvious …

Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation of Activated Sludge Systems–Second
Edition provides, from the process engineering perspective, a comprehensive and up-to …

The nitrification step of a biological nitrogen removal process conducted in a sequencing
batch reactor (SBR) was studied. The process is time oriented and history-dependent …

The paper presents a dynamic optimisation study of a small size single basin wastewater
treatment plant. The objective is to determine optimal sequences of aeration/non-aeration …

In search of readily available and relatively inexpensive materials for phosphorus removal,
waste oyster shell is a waste product from oyster-culturing farm and also presents a major …

Upgrading existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is a more challenging task than
constructing new plants. The aim is usually to overcome overloading and to reduce pollution …

The results obtained using an expert system to control an activated sludge process involving
nutrient removal are reported. The study was conducted at a pilot plant using an …

In this paper, dynamic optimisation of small size wastewater treatment plants is studied. The
problem is stated as a hybrid dynamic optimisation problem which is solved using a gradient …

A two-phase model (linear in each phase) is developed for an alternating aerobic–anoxic
completely mixed activated sludge process for the removal of carbonaceous substrates …

Instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) are key technologies in modern water and
wastewater systems. Ever present disturbances make it necessary to automatically attenuate …
