Optimal control of a biological Sequencing Batch Reactor: an approach by simulations
Résumé
This work aims at comparing two oxygen control strategies for a biological Sequencing Batch Reactor to treat both carbon and nitrogen. The first strategy is a sequence of purely aerobic and anoxic phases, a strategy initially proposed by Mazouni et al. (2009), while the second is based on the use of a low constant oxygen concentration setpoint which could present a number of practical advantages over the first strategy.
