Intelligent Control of Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) for Biological Nitrogen Removal
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper shows the application of several kinds of artificial intelligence techniques in the development of a control system for a biochemical process. A wastewater treatment process for nitrogen removal in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is presented first; two different approaches to identify the endpoint of the biological reactions are introduced. The paper compares and analyzes the results for this task by using different AI techniques based on several kinds of neural networks and fuzzy neural networks.

The effects of Bacillus subtilis on nitrogen recycling from aquaculture solid waste using heterotrophic nitrogen assimilation in sequencing batch reactors.
A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) supplied with Bacillus subtilis (treatment group) was employed to treat the sludge from a re-circulating aquaculture system (RAS). The crude protein content of bio-flocs from the treatment group increased from 21.52%±1.5% to 29.65%±13.34%, which was 23.97%±11.62% greater than that of the SBRs without B. subtilis (control group). The removal rate of dissolved ino...
متن کاملEvaluation of simultaneous nutrient removal and sludge reduction using laboratory scale sequencing batch reactors.
The treatment and disposal of excess sludge has been a rising challenge for wastewater treatment plants worldwide. In this study, simultaneous sludge reduction and nutrient removal was evaluated in laboratory scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). Two SBRs were operated alongside for a duration of 370d. One SBR was operated to achieve nutrient removal (control-SBR) at 10d solids retention time...

Wood fiber industries are producing large amounts of wastewater, which are discharged into the environment everyday. This type of wastewater with high pollution potential in suspended solids, COD and color, are required to be treated before entering to the receiving environment. North part of Iran is covered by huge land of forests. Several pulp and paper industries are located in the area. One...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Performance of Two Aerobic Sequencing Batch Reactors with Flocculated and Granulated Sludge Treating an Industrial Estate Wastewater: Process Analysis and Modeling
In this study, the performance of two aerobic sequencing batch reactors (SBR) in removing carbon and nutrient (N & P) from Faraman’s industrial estate wastewater (FIW) with flocculated and granulated sludge were compared. The comparison study was performed by varying two significant independent variables (aeration time and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS)). The experiments were co...
متن کاملArtificial intelligence control of a sequencing batch reactor for nitrogen removal via nitrite from landfill leachate.
Leachate generated in old landfills is a high-strength wastewater, which is particularly difficult to treat owing to its low biochemical oxygen demand/total Kjeldahl nitrogen ratio. This paper seeks to demonstrate that reliable leachate treatment by means of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) is indeed possible by means of the application of a smart control system. This study assesses the results...
