Abstract
A feed forward control scheme was constructed and demonstrated on a pilot activated sludge reactor using as feed the primary effluent from a municipal treatment plant. The control scheme can be used to control both the air and recycle solids rates to the reactor to compensate for the increased carbon level in the feed stream. At normal detention times an improvement in process efficiency was observed with the control scheme.
