On-line Oxygen Uptake Rate as a new tool for monitoring and controlling the SBR process
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the on-line Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR) as a new tool for identifying the state of the plant during the aerobic phases of the SBR cycle and as a control parameter to optimize the SBR process. A real-time control system has been designed to adjust the aerobic phases length using on-line OUR as the endpoint of the aerobic phase. The control system implementation has permitted the aerobic phase length reduction around 11% implying significant savings in management costs.

SIMULATION AND MONITORING OF THE MACHINING PROCESS VIA FUZZY LOGIC AND CUTTING FORCES
On time replacement of a cutting tool with a new one is an important task in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). A fuzzy logic-based approach was used in the present study to predict and simulate the tool wear progress in turning operation. Cutting parameters and cutting forces were considered as the input and the wear rate was regarded as the output data in the fuzzy logic for construct...

متن کاملOn-line Nonlinear Process Monitoring of a Pilot-scale Sequencing Batch Reactor
This article describes the application of on-line nonlinear monitoring of a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Three-way batch data of SBR are unfolded batchwisely, and then a nonlinear multivariate monitoring method is used to capture the nonlinear characteristics of normal batches. The approach is successfully applied to an 80L SBR for biological wastewater treatment, where the SBR poses an inte...

متن کاملI-11: The Use of Oxygen Consumption for Oocyte and Embryo Selection
Assisted human reproduction is characterized by a high variability in results regarding pregnancy and birth rates. In fact, in a cohort of fertilized oocytes from the same stimulation cycle, the development rate varies drastically, even though produced at the same time and under similar conditions. This variability results in large differences in implantation potential of human embryos develope...
