1st Edition
by Thomas E. Jenkins (Author)
Learn how to design and implement successful aeration control systems
Combining
principles and practices from mechanical, electrical, and environmental
engineering, this book enables you to analyze, design, implement, and
test automatic wastewater aeration control systems and processes. It
brings together all the process requirements, mechanical equipment
operations, instrumentation and controls, carefully explaining how all
of these elements are integrated into successful aeration control
systems. Moreover, Aeration Control System Design features a host
of practical, state-of-the-technology tools for determining energy and
process improvements, payback calculations, system commissioning, and
more.
Author Thomas E. Jenkins has three decades of hands-on
experience in every phase of aeration control systems design and
implementation. He presents not only the most current theory and
technology, but also practical tips and techniques that can only be
gained by many years of experience. Inside the book, readers will find:
- Full integration of process, mechanical, and electrical engineering considerations
- Alternate
control strategies and algorithms that provide better performance than
conventional proportional-integral-derivative control
- Practical considerations and analytical techniques for system evaluation and design
- New feedforward control technologies and advanced process monitoring systems
Throughout
the book, example problems based on field experience illustrate how the
principles and techniques discussed in the book are used to create
successful aeration control systems. Moreover, there are plenty of
equations, charts, figures, and diagrams to support readers at every
stage of the design and implementation process.
In summary, Aeration Control System Design
makes it possible for engineering students and professionals to design
systems that meet all mechanical, electrical, and process requirements
in order to ensure effective and efficient operations.
