Chemical dosing control for ultrafiltration water treatment system

Abstract

Chemical dosing is a significant process of water treatment system because it influences on water quality and operational cost. This paper presents a chemical dosing pH control using temporal logic technique for ultrafiltration water treatment system, in order to validate and analyze an appropriate control approach. In this study, a simulation was built in Matlab Simulink, and has been tested with the data collected from a pilot-scale ultrafiltration water treatment system. As stated in the simulation results, the proposed control scheme can achieve the performance specification in pH control.
