Abstract
This paper considers control structure selection for a biological wastew- ater treatment process, with emphasis on identifying controlled variables that contribute to minimize economic costs. This is achieved according to the self- optimizing procedure proposed by Skogestad (2000). The aim is to demonstrate how, with simple considerations on the control structure design, the efficiency of a wastewater treatment plant can be improved, minimizing operational costs in the plant, while keeping it running optimally and satisfying the effluent requirements.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
