Improve your aeration performance thanks to a single integrated control system

Challenges
Reduce consumption of air blowers and optimize the return of activated sludge
Solutions
Automation of the aeration and of the return of activated sludge according to the biological demand
(possibility to add an advanced process control solution)
Value Proposition
Up to 30% reduced electrical consumption of air blowers
  • Creation of an automation system or implementation of advanced process control APC
Plant operation stability
  • Improved food to micro organisms ratio control (variability reduction with APC)
Improved efficiency
  • Reduced sampling and human errors, better instruments reliability and management
Modernisation of existing plants
  • Possibility to audit existing plants and size the best optimisation project

 
Main Characteristics
Oxygen sensors of ORP instrument should be well placed in the anoxic-aeration tanks to send 4 - 20 mA signals to the PLC.
  • The DO concentrations in the aeration tank should be in the range of 1.5 to 4 mg/L. The DO level in the anoxic phase should be zero or near zero, i.e. without oxygen.
  • The dissolved oxygen content will remain at the DOCO (DO cut-off) so long as the chemical constituency of the sewage in-coming to tank remains the same and within the capabilities of the system and the oxygenation process continues with a constant air supply by weight.
  • DO should be adequate at all times in the system. When oxygen limits the growth of microorganisms, filamentous organisms may predominate and the settleability and the activated sludge process may be poor.
  • Proper food-to-microorganism (F/M) population ratio is the single most important parameter affecting the efficiency of an activated sludge system and the health of the biomass
Differentiation Factors
  • Adaptation to existing situation from manual plant automation to improvement of the existing automation system with advanced process control technology
  • Single integrated control system to optimize the overall plant performance
  • One Schneider Electric point of contact for services and/or turn key capabilities
