The objective of this investigation was to develop a control strategy for the operation of an equalization tank upstream of a waste water treatment plant which utilizes the available equalization hold-up volume in such a manner that it reduces, optimally, diurnal fluctuations in both influent flow and load rates. The influent to a wastewater treatment plant generally exhibits wide diurnal variations in both flow rate and concentration, and consequently in load rate (defined as the product of flow rate and concentration). Deviations of these parameters from steady state cause plant operating problems in areas such as aeration control (due to load rate fluctuations) settling tank overloading due to flow rate fluctuations) and/or over- or under-aeration which affects settling properties, and others. 2014-12-10T07:54:54Z 2014-12-10T07:54:54Z 1982 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9922 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
