摘要： The present disclosure generally relates to a system for monitoring and/or controlling one or more agents, such as cleaning agents, in a wastewater treatment system. The system comprises a bio-electrochemical sensor for monitoring metabolic activity of a population of exo-electrogenic bacteria and providing an electrical output corresponding with the metabolic activity, where the bio-electrochemical sensor comprises an electrode pair and a power source for delivering a voltage across the electrode pair, and an electrical output analyzer for analyzing the electrical output and correlating the electrical output with the one or more agents in the wastewater treatment system. a change in electrical output beyond a threshold indicates that an adjustment in the delivery of the one or more agents is needed. a method and sensor for monitoring and/or controlling a cleaning process in a wastewater treatment system are also provided. The system, method, and sensor disclosed herein are particularly useful for cleaning membranes incorporated in a wastewater treatment process.

摘要： We describe a method of closed-loop control of a waste water treatment plant, the method comprising: obtaining a fluid sample from a fluid of said plant; providing said fluid sample to a sealed chamber such that said fluid sample incompletely fills said sealed chamber leaving a headspace; incubating said fluid sample in said sealed chamber; determining a change in pressure in said headspace during said incubating; and controlling a degree of aeration of said waste water treatment plant responsive to said change in pressure. We also describe a method of measuring one or both of the food content and the biomass content of a fluid of a waste water treatment plant, the method comprising determining a value for one or both of food content and biomass content from a change in pres sure.
