Features: This book is a specialized work on the automatic control and operational management of wastewater treatment. It consists of 25 chapters, divided into 5 parts. Part 1 "Modeling" introduces the basic knowledge of wastewater treatment processes; dynamic models of wastewater treatment processes; data processing of treatment plants; and simulators. Part 2 "Diagnosis" covers diagnosis; statistical process control; examples of problem exploration and diagnosis using online parameter estimators; and knowledge-based systems. Part 3 "Control" discusses the objectives of wastewater treatment processes; the characteristics of disturbances, disturbance modeling, and disturbance control; operating variables; feedback control, switch control, proportional-integral control, and more. Part 4 "Instrumentation" introduces measurement principles; primary sensors; and basic instrumentation for control systems. Part 5 is "Outlook." Throughout the book, wastewater treatment and automatic control are closely integrated, with theory closely linked to practice. This book can serve as a reference for technical personnel and operational managers in wastewater treatment automatic control, as well as a textbook and learning reference for relevant majors in higher education institutions.
