Aerzen’s AERprocess Dissolved Oxygen Control is an integrated solution for controlling the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the activated sludge treatment process and the blowers used to generate the process air flow requirement. The AERprocess system is able to maintain DO concentrations at their set points using a smart and efficient control strategy.
The AERprocess system provides dissolved oxygen to the activated sludge process by calculating the total airflow required (demand side) as well as the exact airflow required in each aeration zone (supply side) to maintain the DO at the set point. AERprocess then sequences the blowers and accurately adjusts the valves to distribute the airflow as required. AERprocess measures the DO in each control basin, and adjusts the valve setting for each individual aeration zone to achieve the desired DO setpoint.
The control strategy is a flow based, Most Open Valve (MOV) method for air distribution at the lowest possible operating pressure for reduced energy consumption. AERprocess provides targeted DO control and accurate response to changing conditions without excessive hunting and overshooting.
