Abstract
The objectives of the study were to develop and demonstrate automatic control strategies using a digital computer on advanced wastewater treatment systems. Two basic pilot treatment systems were automated, physical-chemical treatment and the three-stage activated sludge system. The digital automation involved control of lime feeding, pH control with CO2, FeCl3, sludge wasting, and breakpoint chlorination in the physical-chemical system. In the biological system, the automation involved FeCl3 dosage and D.O. control in aeration, pH control in nitrification and CH3OH and alum dosage controls in denitrification. The digital control approaches satisfactorily operated the pilot plants.
