The monitoring of sewage treatment plants: critical issues and innovative solutions

Monitoring plays a key role in the management of the purification process, as well as, of course, for fiscal control, in its various meanings. The Purification Plant Management Working Group dealt with this issue from its very first months of activity.

Today, water cycle management companies can count on highly trained and experienced personnel, both in analytical and process management, and the amount of data acquired in routine plant monitoring is considerable.

The working group has decided to activate a new subgroup that intends to verify the existence of margins for optimising this activity, which is as important as it is challenging. In this Study Day, the results of the work carried out by the working group will be presented, on the one hand illustrating the critical issues that are still present, and which will require further investigation, and on the other hand proposing innovative criteria, methods and techniques that can already enable the effectiveness of monitoring to be significantly improved.
