Possible solutions for process monitoring on the wastewater treatment plants

abstract

English

A clean environment is the basis for a healthy life. Keeping the environment clean for the protection of all creatures should be the primary responsibility of any society. In Europe alone, there are numerous laws, ordinances and administrative regulations describing the environmental conditions needed to ensure a certain environmental standard. Instrumental analysis is a useful tool to measure the status of environmental conditions, but also to monitor and optimize the technological processes. Instrumentation for the process control and process monitoring is a hidden, but important technology. Various sensors which are being developed for the more precise and efficient wastewater treatment process control and monitoring are nowadays available on the market [1]. Different principles of measurement are applied. One of the most widespread are the photometric or other optical methods and the potentiometric methods. In order to achieve best possible wastewater treatment plant operation efficiency as well as nutrient removal efficiency, the data are the lifeblood in any automated system. They form the basis for the entire logging, analysis and any proof of quality. These data are the key for the optimization of operational processes and for the increase of productivity, quality, safety and profitability of investments [2]. This contribution will provide an overview of various available sensors types and their field of applications for the monitoring of wastewater treatment process. Furthermore, the principles of their operation will be will be described and discussed.
