Operating Description For Local Control Panel (lcp) (combination Igv/vd Machine)
Details the start/stop sequence of single-stage centrifugal compressors.

Description of the cascade control of multiple compressors is detailed, along with control strategy and alarms.

Upgrade of a wastewater plant to implement instrumented/systems control will reduce power costs and manpower. Power costs are reduced by lowering system pressure, and optimized air flow. Software control loops are described, and three case studies presented.

Irvine Ranch, CA recognized 40% power savings after upgrading from jet aeration to fine bubble and multi-stage to single-stage along with automation of the process.

An especially good paper for electric utilities and rookie design engineers. A basic description of the wastewater aeration process and the equipment used. Different blower choices are explained, methods of instrumentation, and how to identify wastewater plants that are good candidates for upgrade.

Upgrade (replacement) of more efficient diffused aeration, aeration blowers, and providing systems instrumentation will save upwards of 30% of the overall power bill in a wastewater treatment plant. This equipment is described, power savings illustrated, and two case studies presented.

Biological nutrient removal (BNR) requires precise control of air flow to aeration cells. Several pieces of equipment, controls, and ancillaries require integration to make an aeration system work. These equipment items are discussed along with the instruments, controls, and software required to affect an automated system.
