Real
time WWTP process control using
sensors to measure key parameters at the inlet, in-process and outlet
is now possible. Improved treatment efficiency, reduced costs and
protection from shock loadings are typical benefits.

Design
Increasing
use of sophisticated
software models such as GPSx highlights
the need for improved data. A model is only as good as the data
fed into it. On-Line sensors can generate a dynamic, 24 hour picture
of inputs and outputs

Bod or Cod can be used to provide a dynamic measure of F:M ratio
