Process control of batch and continious flow wastewater treatment processes for nutrient and carbon removal by the use of respirometry and fuzzy logic control strategies.

In this project a process control strategy for batch and continuous flow active sludge wastewater treatment systems will be developed. The control strategy, based on fuzzy logic and characterisation by a newly developed respirometry based device, will allow significant economical as well as ecological advantages. The project also contains an important valorisation part, which will result in an applicable process control strategy.
