There is no centralized resource detailing the various biological nutrient removal (BNR) control systems, the commercially available sensors and analyzers, their performance and capabilities, and the associated O&M procedures and costs. The Water Research Foundation (WRF) project 5087, Implementation of Innovative Biological Nutrient Removal Processes through Improvement of Control Systems and Online Analytical Measurement Reliability and Accuracy, was developed to fill the knowledge gap in the understanding of online, instrument-driven BNR control schemes and their reliability and performance.
In this webcast, the co-PIs will highlight outcomes of the project and provide the audience with decision support tools for operators, engineers, and utility directors they can use to evaluate the applicability of BNR control systems and associated sensors and analyzers at their water resource recovery facilities. The project team created a user-friendly, web-based app called the BNR Instrumentation & Controls Selection Adventure, which houses the tools.
This webcast targets a wide audience encompassing operators, utility directors, and engineers who are operating or planning to upgrade their BNR system(s). It is intended to be an introduction for those not familiar with BNR control systems and instrumentation options, as well as an opportunity for those more experienced to learn from other’s experiences.
