RT Conference_Proceedings T1 A simplified approach for activity monitoring in complex wastewater treatment processes A1 Mauricio Iglesias, Miguel A1 Garrido, Juan Manuel A1 Lema Rodicio, Juan Manuel K1 Monitoring K1 Wastewater treatment K1 Observer K1 Extended Kalman filter AB The stoichiometric relations between substrate and product are the first parameter obtained for novel processes. We propose here a method for process monitoring that uses the stoichiometry matrix and a linear least square optimisation as a simple approach for process monitoring. The new method is benchmarked versus a well-established method: the continuous-discrete extended Kalman filter (CD-EKF) and both are compared estimating biological rates of a novel technology. It is seen that, although inferior to the CD-EKF, the new method can be an alternative for process monitoring in wastewater treatment YR 2017 FD 2017 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/15571 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/15571 LA eng NO ICA 2017, 12th IWA Specialized Conference on Instrumentation, Control and Automation,11-14 June 2017, in Québec City, Québec, Canada DS Minerva RD 4 may 2026
