Nitrogen & phosphate control system
Liquiline Control CDC81

An active controller detects the rate of change of the nitrification process, thus determining the direct behavior of the biology in intermittent phases. The system dynamically adjusts the oxygen set point with respect to the nutrient concentration. Simply put: high load equals high oxygen setpoint and low load equals low oxygen setpoint. In the case of continuously driving blowers, a feed-forward control strategy is used: this compensates for swift load changes via predictive preparation.

The Liquiline Control uses continuous flow rate and phosphate measurement to control your dosing pump and to ensure efficient phosphate elimination. It can thus quickly adjust precipitant dosing in the case of changing loads or flow rates. This ensures the most efficient phosphate conversion, which means that you use less precipitant and therefore reduce cost. In addition, optimized precipitant dosing prevents increased salting of the biology and increasing volumes of sludge.

Thanks to continuous measured value and signal validation, Liquiline Control guarantees stable plant operation and reliable plant discharge. Should a measured value or even a blower fail, the system switches the affected control loops into a corresponding safety condition and sends error or warning messages. The original plant operation settings can be restored at any time via selector switch. Even after installation, plant personnel have full control of the process at all times.

Liquiline Control is designed as a modular, expandable system with architecture primarily based on a programmable logic controller (PLC) and individual signal interfaces. Available as a stand-alone solution or decentralized in various housing configurations, this flexibility allows for quick and easy integration into existing process control systems, as well as incorporation of existing instrumentation.

Using fieldbus technology, Liquiline Control retransmits all remote measurement data to a central point such as your control room. This enables you easy monitoring of the processes and adjustment of the control. Furthermore, process monitoring via secure VPN is particularly quick and simple. This allows your treatment plant staff to manage the measured values and parameters regardless of location and weather conditions.
