The paper presents a methodology for the utilisation of the Uncertainty analysis based on Monte Carlo simulations for the design of wastewater treatment systems. The special and important case of facultative-ponds design is exemplified. The design is carried out a large number of times, each run with different values of the inputs, randomly selected from uniform distributions within ranges which define the designer's uncertainty with the data. The results are interpreted statistically, giving elements for the selection of more or less conservative designs, according to the resulting effluent quality. The procedure for undertaking a Sensitivity Analysis is also described and exemplified, allowing the designer to concentrate more efforts on a more accurate determination of those inputs found to be significantly important.

Abstract Based on discussions in workshop sessions, several recurring themes became evident with respect to the optimization and control of petroleum refinery wastewater treatment systems to achieve effective removal of toxic contaminants. It was apparent that statistical process control (SPC) techniques are finding more widespread use and have been found to be effective. However, the implementation of real-time process control strategies in petroleum refinery wastewater treatment systems is in its infancy. Considerable effort will need to be expended to demonstrate the practicality of on-line sensors, and the utility of automated process control in petroleum refinery wastewater treatment systems. This paper provides a summary of the discussions held at the workshop.

Wastewater Treatment Systems

Density currents in the deeper zones of clarifiers and currents in the clear water zone have a significant influence on clarifier performance. Measurements of flow velocity profiles were conducted in full-scale horizontally flown circular secondary clarifiers. Relations between the hydraulic load and the development of density currents could be detected. Those patterns are not taken into account in current design procedures. Stationary design approaches are mainly based on the overflow rate. Novel design methods based on the dynamic behavior of flow and density distribution in clarifiers are needed in order to improve the efficacy of wastewater treatment systems.
