The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is a widely used process for biological removal of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from wastewater. It is based on the metabolism of specialised bacteria, which under alternate anaerobic/aerobic conditions uptake phosphorus and perform denitrification. Intermittent operation is normally operated on a fixed switching schedule with ample margin for possible inaccuracies, with the result that the process operation is highly inefficient. This paper proposes a switching strategy based on the indirect observation of process state through simple physico-chemical measurements and the use of an inferential engine to determine the most appropriate switching schedule. In this way the duration of each phase is limited to the time strictly necessary for the actual loading conditions. Experimental results show that the treatment cycle can be significantly shortened, with the results that more wastewater can be treated. The switching strategy is based on innovative data-processing techniques applied to simple process signals including pH, oxido-reduction potential (ORP) and dissolved oxygen (DO). They include wavelet filtering for signal denoising and fuzzy clustering for features extraction and decision-making. The formation of a knowledge-base and its adaptation during the operation are also discussed.
