Optimal operation of alternating activated sludge processes
Abstract
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 times so that for a typical diurnal pattern of disturbances, the effluent constraints are respected, the plant remains in the cyclic steady-state, and the energy consumption is minimised.Based on the results of optimal state trajectories, two simple feedback rules are …
