Description
Nutrient removal and sustainability are two of the biggest drivers in the wastewater industry today. Both demand increased automation of the activated sludge process implemented using feedback from online sensors in order to be achieved. Technology has stepped up to fill the need with a new generation of online sensors capable of monitoring at a frequency, accuracy, and reliability suitable for feedback control. However, even the best designed sensor cannot fulfill its full capabilities without proper training of the end user. This workshop provides participants essential information on the selection and care of online instrumentation for monitoring and control of biological nutrient removal (BNR) activated sludge. The main instructional objective is to teach participants good practices that are essential to successful process monitoring.
