W06 Aeration Control for Practitioners: Advanced Control and Optimization Techniques for Aeration, Process, and Energy

Sunday, October 6
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Aeration control is a complex task at water resource recovery facilities and affects operation and compliance of activated sludge facilities, including process stability, settling, nutrient removal, effluent quality, energy, and operation and maintenance. This workshop builds on the 'Aeration Control for Practitioners' workshop at WEFTEC 2023 by providing tools to identify, evaluate, and troubleshoot advanced aeration control strategies, including ammonia-based aeration control, shortcut denitrification/nitrite shunt control, low dissolved oxygen aeration control (< 0.5 mg/L dissolved oxygen), model predictive control, and ammonia-to-nitrate ratio based control.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this workshop, attendees will be able to

  • Identify root causes of suboptimal aeration control systems.
  • Identify advanced aeration control strategies, their applicability/limitations, and controlling variables.
  • Define implementation steps for several advanced aeration control approaches.
  • Demonstrate mitigating measures to common implementation issues for several advanced aeration control approaches.
