MBR systems are typically equipped with a lot of devices, sensors and controllers. Online data acquisition and process control are essential to design and operate an MBR system. The purpose of this training is to make the trainee acquainted with the theory and practice of data logging and instrument control by means of a PC, data-acquisition devices and the Labview program which can be considered a state-of-the-art software for such purposes.
A laboratory-scale MBR is running in BIOMATH and will be available to the trainee to practice the online data acquisition and instrument control system. After the training period (6 months), the trainee will be able to acquire signals (e.g. temperature, pressure, pH, DO etc.) from an MBR system and transform them into useful data (e.g. after filtering, outlier elimination, graphing, alarming, etc).
Furthermore, the fellow will be able to control the MBR instruments (e.g. pumps, switches, valves etc.) based on user defined models, to eventually design a complete MBR process control system
