Rural sewage treatment is now paid more and more attention in China. Vermifiltration technology could be one of the practical options under the review of previous studies. It showed good removal rates of contaminants on small to pilot scales for short-term tests. However, the impacts of season, temperature or other unknown factors are usually not taken into account. In this study, a larger vermifilter was designed to treat the sewage on village scale for long-term operation. Filter material composition was optimized by a half year experimentation. The treatment effects of vermifiltration were also compared with traditional activated sludge process for the same influent sewage. The results showed that the designed vermifiltration system could continuously treat the sewage produced by more than 100 inhabitants per day. COD, BOD5 and SS concentration in outflow were rather stable despite the fluctuation of hydraulic loading rate and organic input during one year test. It can also remove N and P to some extent. A suspending design of vermifilter bed cause adequate oxygen content in outflow of vermifilter. The comparative test showed that the treatment efficacy of vermifiltration was similar as activated sludge process. Generally, this vermifiltration system has practical application value for village sewage treatment.

Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang reka bentuk Pengawal Ramalan Model Suai menggunakan kaedah Pengenalpastian Model Keadaan Ruang Sub–ruang bagi proses enapcemar teraktif. Penggunaan teknik Pengenalpastian Model Keadaan Ruang Sub–ruang di dalam kaedah kawalan tingkat gelangsar suai dibincangkan di mana pengenalpastian sub–ruang dalam talian menggunakan algoritma N4SID di perkenalkan bersama dengan rekabentuk Pengawal ramalan model. Pembangunan N4SID dalam talian di dalam kertas kerja ini menggunakan pengemaskini QR di mana gabungan di antara teknik kemaskini dan kemasbawah membolehkan pengadaptasi tingkap gelangsar. Di sini, untuk setiap langkah masa, bagi setiap data baru akan dimasukkan ke faktor R manakala data yang lama dibuang. Begitu juga, strategi bagi uraian nilai tunggal diperkenalkan ke dalam Pengawal Ramalan Model Suai tak langsung untuk masukan tambahan kawalan bagi sistem terkekang tak lelurus. Beberapa kajian simulasi bagi parameter kawalan berlainan di dalam pengawal/pengenalpastian algoritma dilaksanakan. Bagi reka bentuk Pengawal Ramalan Model Suai tak langsung, pengiraan masa yang terlibat dengan menggunakan pendekatan uraian nilai tunggal kurang berbanding dengan kaedah perancangan kuadratik dan keputusan yang memberangsangkan ini adalah sumbangan utama di dalam kertas kerja ini. Kata kunci: Pengawal suai; proses enapcemar teraktif; pengawal ramalan model; pengenalpastian sub–ruang This paper explores the design of Adaptive Model Predictive Control (AMPC) using Subspace State–space Model Identification (SMI) techniques for an activated sludge process. The implementation of SMI techniques in the adaptive sliding window control methods are discussed where the online subspace identification using Numerical State–space Subspace System Identification (N4SID) algorithm is proposed along with Model Predictive Control (MPC) design method. The online N4SID algorithm developed in this study makes use of the QR–updating where the combination of update and down date techniques enables sliding window adaptation. Here, at each time step, for the new experimental data added into R factor, the oldest data are removed. Also, the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD–based) strategy is proposed into Indirect AMPC (IAMPC) for the control increment input constrained nonlinear system. Several simulation studies for different control parameters in control/identification algorithm are performed. For the IAMPC control design, the computational times involved using an SVD approach shows less burdensome compared to Quadratic Programming (QP) method and such an interesting result is considered as one of the main contribution in this paper. Key words: Adaptive control; activated sludge process; model predictive control; subspace identification

Full scale two-stage activated sludge process (ASP) with fixed biological media was used to treat coal gasification wastewater. The ASP has operated for more than one year and COD, total phenol and NH4-N removal effects were illuminated. COD and total phenol removal rates were around 85% and 90% during long term operation. Effluent COD and total phenol of the first stage of the ASP had an abnormal increase and turned to normal after several weeks. Nitrification of the ASP increased slowly and NH4-N removal rates achieved 80% after 15 weeks. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279a is isolated from coal chemical industry wastewater. The optimum conditions for PO production are phenol 1000mg/L, temperature 30-34 and pH 7-7.5. The strain resists 980mg/L COD and 805mg/L phenols. The degradation rate of phenols reaches 97% in 48h. The results show that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279a can be applied to the aerobic process with high proportion of phenols
