A new cascade control strategy using two Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers effectively manages nitrate concentration in predenitrification by adjusting carbon dosage. This method ensures effluent quality and improves disturbance rejection, significantly reducing nitrate fluctuations.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Process Control
  • Wastewater Treatment

Background:

  • Predenitrification processes are crucial for removing nitrogen from wastewater.
  • Maintaining stable nitrate concentrations is essential for effluent quality and overall treatment efficiency.
  • Existing control strategies may struggle with rapid disturbance rejection and effluent nitrate fluctuations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel cascade control strategy for regulating nitrate concentration in predenitrification.
  • To simultaneously control nitrate levels in the effluent and the final anoxic reactor.
  • To enhance effluent quality and improve the system's response to disturbances.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a cascade control strategy with two Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers.

  • Manipulation of external carbon dosage as the control input.
  • Design and tuning of PI controllers using the Ziegler-Nichols (Z-N) method and relay feedback identification.
  • Validation through Benchmark simulations.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed cascade control strategy demonstrated excellent set-point tracking capabilities.
    • Satisfactory disturbance rejection was achieved, indicating system robustness.
    • A significant reduction in the fluctuation of effluent nitrate concentration was observed compared to previous methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed cascade control strategy offers structural advantages for predenitrification processes.
    • The strategy effectively ensures effluent quality and enhances system stability.
    • This approach provides a more efficient and stable method for nitrate concentration control in wastewater treatment.
