Reference: 13/WW/21/16 ISBN: 1 84057 678 2 Published Date: 20/05/2013 Improved control and optimisiation of wastewater treatment processes offers the potential for significant energy, chemical and carbon savings. In recent years, Advanced Process Control (APC) technologies have been trialled and installed by water companies and it is anticipated that the use of these systems will increase in the future. Using case studies and theoretical models, this project examined the impact APC may have on the receiving water, addressing concerns by the regulator relating to discharging less variable effluent with a potential increased load.
