Résumé
Diffused aeration is the most implemented method for oxygen transfer in municipal activated sludge systems and governs the economics of the entire treatment process. Empirical observations are typically used to regulate airflow distribution through the adjustment of manual valves. However, due to the associated degrees of freedom, the identification of a combination of manual valves that optimizes all performance criteria is a complex task. For the first time a multi-criteria optimization algorithm was used to minimize effluent constituents and energy use by parametrizing manual valves positions. Data from a full-scale facility in conjunction with specific model assumptions were used to develop a base-case facility consisting of a detailed air supply model, a bio-kinetic model and a clarification model. Compared to the base-case condition, trade-offs analysis showed potential energy savings of up to 13.6% and improvement of effluent quality for NH
