chemical and biological process kinetics in activated sludge wastewater treatment systems, with the help of_x000D_
combined pH-ORP-T sensors. By employing the Intelligent combined pH/ORP/T sensors made by Osorno_x000D_

The scope of this project is to perform a bench-scale baseline comparison of the existing SBR treatment_x000D_
processe with enhanced nutrient removal by implementing mixing, aeration, and fixed film process_x000D_
modifications together with advanced on-line measurements, and associated control system, using the_x000D_
combined pH-ORP-T sensors made by Osorno. We will investigate: 1) operating conditions and wastewater_x000D_
character at HWWTF; 2) the operational enhancements for nitrogen, phosphorus removal; the aeration_x000D_
programming under the different SBR processes 4) the chemical dosing to maintain optimum pH-ORP in the_x000D_
process; 5) Investigate the automation and controls needed to achieve nutrient removal._x000D_
Findings from this research project will provide a much-needed SBR treatment performance baseline with_x000D_

Canada. With an improved understanding of what specific aspects of SBR chemical and biological treatment_x000D_
