Webinar on “MODELLING AND CONTROL OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS” University of Guadalajara (UdeG), 26 August 2021, 13:00 p.m. to 15:30 p.m. [GMT] Please check your time zone (GMT: Greenwich Mean Time). The webinar starts at Guadalajara local time (GMT -5): 8 p.m. Background The highly complex biological and biochemical nature of Wastewater Treatment Processes is one of the main challenges for modelling and control of such processes. This includes also parametric uncertainties and disturbances to which they are subject, and that affects their performance. Thus, various modelling and process control techniques have been used to face such issues in different ways. Typical deterministic models proposed by the International Water Association (IWA) as well as knowledge-based ones; like neural networks and fuzzy approaches, are used for general and specific applications where particular emphasis is placed on the main parameters and variables to be monitored and controlled in order to ensure the optimal performance of Wastewater Treatment Plants. This webinar is intended to present different approaches that have proved their usefulness in the modelling, and regulation of WWTP. Keynote Topics 1) Coupling the biochemical and thermochemical biorefinery platforms to enhance energy and product recovery from distillery solid residues 2) Modeling and control of wastewater treatment plants : Objectives, challenges and some solutions 3) Non linear Control Approaches in WWTP
