Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Water Treatment Technologies
  • Process Control

Background:

  • Conventional Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) rely on fixed operational phases, necessitating large equalization units to manage influent variability.
  • Influent flow rates and water quality fluctuations challenge the efficiency of traditional SBR control, increasing treatment costs, particularly for small-scale systems.
  • Optimizing SBR performance with time-varying influent loads is difficult using standard sequential control methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel dynamic control strategy for continuous-inflow SBRs.
  • To address challenges posed by time-varying influent flow rates and water quality.
  • To improve substrate removal efficiencies and reduce overall treatment costs in SBR systems.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of on-line Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) monitoring.
  • Integration of on-line pH monitoring for real-time process adjustments.
  • Application of dynamic control to a continuous-inflow SBR system with variable loading.

Main Results:

  • The dynamically controlled SBR demonstrated enhanced substrate removal efficiencies compared to conventional methods.
  • Significant reductions in overall wastewater treatment costs were observed.
  • The system effectively managed time-varying influent flow rates and water qualities.

Conclusions:

  • On-line ORP and pH monitoring enable effective dynamic control of continuous-inflow SBRs.
  • Dynamic control offers a cost-effective solution for treating variable wastewater streams.
  • This approach optimizes SBR performance and reduces the need for extensive pre-treatment equalization units.
