Digitalisation of networks past projects

Sewer systems protect both public and environmental health, by collecting and transporting domestic and industrial wastewaters to treatment plants for pollutant removal. Sewer management is currently reactive but should be more proactive, which requires digitalisation for network-wide monitoring and real-time control. The current roadblock for the digitalisation of sewer management is the lack of advanced algorithms for the systematic analysis and integrated use of network-wide monitoring data.

This project aims to develop a fundamental model of the complex, non-steady state flow behaviour in anaerobic lagoons.

This project aims to develop and demonstrate, through real-life field studies, a model predictive control approach that achieves cost-effective network-wide mitigation of hydrogen sulfide.
