| Abstract | A fuzzy logic supervisory control system for optimising nitrogen removal and aeration energy consumption has been developed. This control system allows optimising and controlling the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the aerobic reactors, the blowers discharge pressure and the effluent ammonia and nitrate concentrations. DO is controlled by adjusting control valve opening and blower discharge pressure is controlled by modifying rotational speed of the blowers. Optimum nitrification/denitrification is achieved by modifying the DO set point in the last aerobic reactor and the internal recirculation. This system has been tested by simulation in a Bardenpho process using the Activated Sludge Model No2. A significant improvement in stability on the activated sludge process is achieved. Moreover, significant energy saving has been achieved with this control strategy. |
