Extremum-seeking control of redox processes in wastewater chemical treatment plants
نویسنده
چکیده
Monitoring and control of redox processes are key to operate wastewater chemical treatment plants at high-loading-rate whilst rejecting concentration and composition disturbances. Carbon dioxide concentration and oxidationreduction potential (ORP) are selected as key inferential measurements of oxidation kinetics and oxidant reagent consumption. An extremum-seeking control cascade is proposed for increased automation of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The logic of the master loop is designed to constantly drive ORP readings to its achievable maximum. The logic of the control strategy is simple and cheap to implement using standard sensors and control hardware.

This paper presents a new formulation of extremum-seeking control for discrete-time Wiener– Hammerstein plants. A novel method of analysis using Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) system theory demonstrates semi-global stability of the control scheme. Assuming only limited plant knowledge, the stability result ensures convergence of the plant output in steady state to a point in an arbitrarily smal...
