Flocculation Process

The flocculating process of sewage treatment is a complicated and nonlinear system, and it is very difficult to found the process model to describe it. The radial basis probabilistic neural network (RBPNN) has the ability of strong function approach and fast convergence. In this paper, an intelligent optimized control system based on radial basis probabilistic neural network is presented. We constructed the structure of radial basis probabilistic neural network that used for controlling the flocculation process, and adopt the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm and least square method to train the network. We given the architecture of control system and analyzed the working process of system. In this system, the parameters of flocculation process were measured using sensors, and then the control system can control the flocculation process real-time. The system was used in the sewage treatment plant. The experimental results prove that this system is feasible.

Pressure Control System

Sewage pumping station is pumping station import at the sewage treatment plant. Its role is to collect the wastewater from the sewage pipe network to subsequent wastewater treatment process facilities. The water level is usually low in sewage collection pipe network. And many wastewater treatment facilities is based on elevation settings. So it is necessary to use lift pump to improve lift of the collected sewage, using high gravity sewage errands subsequent process in order to reduce energy consumption. The traditional way of pumping generally has the shortcomings: the waste of power resources, low efficiency, poor reliability, low degree of automation, which seriously affects the urban sewage treatment capacity. This paper, views pump station control system at the sewage treatment plant as the background, researches frequency control constant pressure control system based on PLC, realizes the energy efficient, automated and reliable direction of development of the sewage pumping station.

Fine Bubble

Henriksdal sewage treatment plant is the largest plant in Stockholm with a design flow of 370 000 m3/d. In one aeration tank of eleven a new fine-bubble aeration system has been in operation since August 1985. The tank is divided into 6 equal parts. The first part is an anoxic zone and the other five are aeration zones with tapered diffusers. Several instruments are installed in the block including separate air flow monitors in each of the five zones and D.O.-probes in the inlet and outlet of the zones. Equipment for flow measurement of settled sewage and return sludge is also installed. Every instrument is connected to a computer for data acquisition. To evaluate the efficiency of the aeration system the oxygenation transfer capacity has been calculated from the oxygen massbalance equation for each zone as a function of air flow. To solve this equation the respiration has to be known and this is done by a simple respirometer for samples of the MLSS in each zone. When the KLa-values are known as functions of the air flow the mass balance equation can be used to calculate the respiration rate in each zone. The computer has been logging data for 2 2 months, and it is possible to calculate the respiration rates in the different zones every hour during this period. It is very important to know the respiration along the tank and how it varies to get the optimal tapering of the diffusers when it is time to change the aeration system in the other 10 tanks. The calculations show a different pattern in the respiration over the year depending on the rate of nitrification. Another use of the calculation of the oxygenation transfer efficiency is to recognize if any long-term change occurs due to clogging of the diffusers.

Low Do

In the activated sludge process, the cause of filamentous bulking is often the filamentous bacteria Type 021N. At the Kitaminato sewage treatment plant, it was found that when the DO in the aeration tank decreased, filamentous bulking occurred. If the low DO condition is allowed to continue, anaerobic degraded organic matter is produced which creates a favorable condition for the multiplication of Type 021N. Entosiphon sp. is reported to show resistance to low DO; however, sometimes before filamentous bulking occurs, Entosiphon sp. itself multiples. Also if Entosiphon sp. increases and Cinetochilummargaritaceum, of the Ciliophora, multiples, then bulking by Type 021N has been seen not to occur. Cinetochilummargaritaceum has low resistance to hydrogen sulfide; therefore, hydrogen sulfide must not be present in the aeration tank and this means that bulking by Type 021N can not become serious. However, if filamentous bulking becomes serious, only increasing the DO level in the aeration tank will not cause the disappearance of the filamentous bulking. At this stage, if we allow 30% of the final effluent to flow back into the grit chamber, then Type 021N decreases. This is because Trithigmostomacucullulus, of the Ciliophora, increases to 3,000 number/ml, and it ingests Type 021N.

Nitrification Process

In this study, a scientific method which can be used to improve nitrification process at low temperature in the sewage treatment plant was introduced. The activated sludge samples were taken from aeration tank of the sewage treatment plant when the outside temperature was below 0°C (water temperature below 12 °C). Five kinds of nitrobacteria strains with cold-resistance and higher activity of ammonia degradation were isolated from aeration tanks. The physiological properties showed the five strains were identified into Sphingobacteriaceae、Rhodanobacter sp.、Pseudomonas sp.、Pandoraea sp. and Perlucidibaca piscinae. All of the strains could convert ammonia-nitrogen or NO2- into NO3- in the medium at 10°C. The ammonia and nitrate removal efficiency could be reached 80.9% and 80.3% respectively. Comparing to the unvaccinated one, the removal efficiency can be increased by 50%, which proved the isolated nitrobacteria could be applied to biological nitrification process of sewage treatment at low-temperature.

In tertiary hospitals where the nuclear medicine services have been introduced, the radioactive materials used in diagnosis and / or treatment need to be handled. The hospital design and medical planning should consider such these materials and their policy for treatment. The nuclear wastes have been divided into solid and liquid based on the used materials and for their half-life times which start from few minutes till reaching years. In our study, the most common radioactive liquid materials (wastes) have been treated by smart system. The system will detect the material of the waste via nuclear sensors and based on its HLT (activities), it will be distributed in two shielded storage tanks classified based on capacity then to the sewage treatment plant (STP) of the hospital after keeping for required times. The location and capacity of these tanks together with their monitoring and control system should be considered in design stage which determines the treatment processes. By applying our proposed technique on two hospitals, the results have reduced the storage tank capacity by 87% (reduction) and space area leading to cost reduction by 72% keeping the maximum level of safety.

Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) wastewater treatment process has lots of characteristics, such as randomness, time-varying characteristics, complexity and so on. In order to solve the above problems, a predictive PID control method based on DMC and ordinary PID for SBR wastewater treatment process dissolved oxygen (DO) control was proposed. The simulation studies were conducted with the MATLAB in a sewage treatment plant. The results showed that the proposed predictive PID control method was robust and jamproof. Meanwhile, the wastewater treatment system also had a strong capacity of shock load.
