AUTOMATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESS PRODUCTION OUTPUT

Аннотация

The level and significance of automation in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have grown alongside advancements in technology and stricter treatment regulations. This paper aims to evaluate and describe the present state of process automation in Finnish WWTPs, identifying effective practices and understanding the needs of plant operators. The shift from processes focused on ammonia or organic matter removal to those targeting total nitrogen removal has further increased the demand for Instrumentation, Control, and Automation (ICA). Key words: WWTP, SCADA system, functionality, automation, cost-efficient, Screening System.
