•White Paper: Optimization Of Nutrient Removal
Robert Lagrange
The use of instrumentation in standard nitrification plants has limited acceptance. Flow and dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements are well accepted. Most of the time only flow is included in an automatic control strategy. Mixed liquor Suspended Solids, pH and ORP are used at times. The use of chemical analyzers to determine the concentration of ammonia and the inclusion in a control strategy remains an exception.
The complexity of the processes increases when denitrification and phosphate removal are added. Additional measurements such as nitrate and phosphate concentration become a requirement. Depending on the plant configuration the measurement of BOD, TOC or Methanol concentration could also be beneficial.
All the measurements required in the optimization of a process for nutrient removal require justification and recommendation for installation and use in a control strategy.
For each process we will define the best technology, the installation requirements for optimum performances and the role in the process optimization.
