This paper is to study appropriate control strategies for a clarifier in an industrial wastewater treatment plant. Five control strategies are proposed, implemented and evaluated in a simulation software （West ＋＋）. The sludge blanket height and the effluent suspended solids concentration were proposed as the measured variable. The manipulated variable was the quantity of polymer added to the system. The strategies were evaluated in terms of their ability to maintain the sludge blanket height below 1.5m, their polymer requirements, their sensitivity to poor tuning and the required control action.展开更多

Several models have been developed based on the Kynch solid flux theory to improve the clarifier performance at last decades. This paper proposed a model which is established according to the basis sedimentation process of the secondary clarifier and Kynch flux theory for a clarifier with feedwell in upper of tank and the diffusion effective are combined into the model, which benefts the further improvement of the model and makes the solutions fit to the measurement data in secondary clarifier,展开更多
