Abstract
Development of better design and control methods is an obvious way for improving plant operation and performance in an activated sludge proc ess. A different approach to the control systems in the activated slud ge wastewater treatment process is presented. This system is based on the control of the sludge age (Theta(c)) and the microorganism concent ration (MLSS) in the aerator, by adjusting the sludge recycle and wast age flow rates, respectively.
