This paper describes a procedure to find the best controlled variables in an economic sense
for the activated sludge process in a wastewater treatment plant, despite the large load …

This paper addresses the implementation of economic-oriented model predictive controllers
for the dynamic real-time optimization of the operation of wastewater treatment plants …

In the operation of wastewater treatment plants a key variable is dissolved oxygen (DO)
content in the bioreactors. As oxygen is consumed by the microorganisms, more oxygen has …

The paper deals with the design of a predictive controller for a wastewater treatment
process. In the considered process, the wastewater is treated in order to obtain an effluent …

In the paper, control possibilities for the nitrogen removal process within activated sludge
wastewater treatment plants are discussed. A predictive controller is introduced which aims …

The application of a multivariable predictive controller to an activated sludge process is
discussed in this work. Emphasis is given to the model identification and the long term …

In this paper several control strategies for nitrogen removal are proposed and evaluated in a
benchmark simulation model of an activated sludge process. The goal is to determine which …

Two control strategies, relying on different principles, are used in this paper for improving the
performance of an Activated Sludge Process (ASP): gain scheduling PI control (GS-PI) and …

This paper focuses on the design of a model-based predictive control (MPC or MBPC)
technique to regulate the concentration levels of nitrate in both anoxic and aerobic zones of …

In this work, a novel methodology for the Integrated Design (ID) of processes with linear
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is addressed, providing simultaneously the plant …
