What is involved in the case of Emmerich PSS is development and testing of a processcontrol system that is capable of learning for the purpose of optimising the functionality and costs of existing wastewater treatment plants for small and medium-sized local authorities.
Due to the technological progress made with regard to the processing of information, process control as well as the online recording of volume and load parameters within wastewater, completely new options and approaches have been produced for the integrated operation of sewerage sytems and wastewater treatment plants. As part of the project a method is being developed to minimise the discharging events within the sewerage system and, at the same time, to optimise the flow to the wastewater treatment plant. Implementation takes place with the aid of modern simulation tools, innovative approaches to control as well as data processing structures.
The method to be developed is thereby intended to stand out due to self-learning, self-adjusting and despite the complex technical and biological backgrounds also due to user friendly structures. One further advantage of the process is intended to be its transferability, in terms of saving costs and time, to other sewerage wastewater treatment systems. As a result, this will produce an economical tool, using which better protection of the lakes and rivers and, at the same time, optimised operational management can be achieved.
