BNR control
Kruger, a Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies company, offers STAC, a real time biological nutrient removal control for Phased Isolation Ditch (PID) technologies. The system uses online monitoring of nitrate and ammonia to dynamically control the phase length in response to incoming loading. This monitoring system will also monitor orthophosphate, thereby using that information to aid in the control of chemical dosing for phosphorus removal. Switching from fixed to variable phase length control with the system allows for continuous and automatic optimization of the alternating anoxic-aerobic pattern of Bio-Denitro™ and Bio-Denipho™ plants.
