Abstract

This paper develops coordinated control methods for the regulation policies of high-strength waste water treatment process. A dynamic model for the activated sludge process with waste waters is presented and linearized for control studies. The control strategy regulates the feed rate to maintain a constant optimal substrate concentration in the reactor, which in turn minimizes the reaction time. The coordinated control method consists of three components: two components have independent direct effects on the behavior of the aerated basin and the settling tank and the third component coordinates the overall operation. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the developed methods.
