Approaches to standardization in the automatic control of water quality for water supply and wastewater systems

Abstract

Automation of analytical control of the composition and properties of drinking and treated wastewater can be considered in two directions: compliance with quality requirements and optimization of the treatment process. Measuring systems with which it is possible to organize automatic control of the composition of drinking and wastewater allow real-time regulation of the technological processes of water treatment and water purification, as well as providing the required hygienic and environmental control in accordance with the requirements of environmental and sanitary legislation. The article presents approaches to standardization of automatic control systems of pollutants in water, shows the possibilities and some limitations of automatic control systems from the standpoint of standardization, identifies indicators that can be interchangeable for automatic control systems of pollutants in water, and presents methodological approaches to determining the corresponding conversion factors.
