Smart wastewater management based on new intelligent control system:Innovation and practice
For many years the automatic control in the water industry has been based on programmable logic controller(PLC),which has been widely used in wastewater treatment plants(WWTP).In order to make wastewater treatment scientific and efficient,smart management has become the development direction of the industry.However,limited by the technical characteristics of the PLC system,the intelligent development is facing problems and challenges,and a new type of control system is needed to improve the technical level and management quality.The new intelligent control system abandons the traditional PLC model,has its own technical system,with a new system architecture,independent research and development of hardware and software configuration to achieve digital,networked,automated and intelligent features,and has been applied in practice,successfully improve the operating efficiency,stability,safety of wastewater treatment plants,reduce plant operating costs.By summarizing and analyzing the key technologies and application cases,it elaborated that the new intelligent control system improved and enhanced the operation quality of wastewater treatment plants in many aspects such as hardware,software and management,with a view to providing the water industry with innovative solutions of intelligent control technology.
