Optimisation of Electrocoagulation Flocculation Treatment of Laundry Greywater with Design of Experiment Methodology
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly more important to relook at the impact that greywater has on the environment and the opportunities that it can provide for water re-use. More especially that the sewer pipelines are often over flooded and overflowing onto the streets in most townships in South Africa due to sewer blockages, population, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) overcapacity. To cope with current and future wastewater treatment (WWT) demands, developments …

Design of Decentralised PI Controller Based on Characteristic Ratio Assignment Method for a Waste Water Treatment Plant
Abstract: This work proposes a decentralised PI controller design for a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) based on the Characteristic Ratio Assignment (CRA) method. To minimise interactions, a decoupler is created, and for every decoupled subsystem, the First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) model is derived. Using the CRA technique, the independent controllers for each lower order FOPDT decoupling subsystem are calculated. This paper presents the design of a decentralized proportional–integral (PI) …

The Role of IoT and AI in Advancing Wastewater Treatment Plant Efficiency
Abstract: Wastewater treatment facilities, or WWTPs, are essential for protecting the environment and human health because they clean wastewater before it is released into natural water bodies. The operational effectiveness and efficiency of WWTPs have undergone a significant transformation as a result of the integration of smart technology for real-time monitoring and control. This review looks at new developments in smart technologies that are being used in WWTPs, including data analytics, …

Design and Detailing of a Waste Water Treatment Plant for a Small Community
Abstract: The water supplied to a community receives a range of chemical substances and microbial flora during its use such that the waste water acquires a polluting potential and becomes a health and environmental hazard. Communicable diseases of the intestinal tract such as; cholera, typhoid, dysenteries and water borne diseases like infectious hepatitis etc. can be spread from uncontrolled disposal of waste water and therefore, prevention of communicable diseases and protecting …
