State and Disturbance Estimation for an Alternating Activated Sludge Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
An application of the extended Kalman filter for a nonlinear model of an activated sludge process (ASP), working in an alternating aerobic-anoxic phase medium, is proposed. The filter is used to estimate both the states and non-stationary disturbances, to better evaluate changes in operating conditions. It is to be pointed out that, according to the structure of the reduced nonlinear system, the observer is a two-alternated-observer scheme. Filtering results are shown by using both experimental data and simulations. Copyright c 2002 IFAC

Modeling and Experimental Prediction of Wastewater Treatment Efficiency in Oil Refineries Using Activated Sludge Process
In this study, activated sludge process for wastewater treatment in a refinery was investigated. For such purpose, a laboratory scale rig was built. The effect of several parameters such as temperature, residence time, effect of Leca (filling-in percentage of the reactor by Leca) and UV radiation on COD removal efficiency were experimentally examined. Maximum COD removal efficiency was obtained...

Wastewater treatment plants are one of the main sources of dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and removal of ARGs in different wastewater treatment processes. A total of 36 samples from raw and final effluent of different activated sludge processes were collected and analyzed. Molecular analysis w...

متن کاملA nonlinear observer design for an activated sludge wastewater treatment process
This paper treats the problem of estimating simultaneously the state and the unknown inputs of a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems. An observer design method for nonlinear Lipschitz discrete-time systems is proposed. By assuming that the linear part of this class of systems is time-varying, the state estimation problem of nonlinear system is transformed into a state estimation problem fo...
