}Abstract Process control is important at wastewater treatment plants to meet effluent criteria and minimise resource use. In a nitrogen removal plant, the aeration costs in the biological treatment part constitute the largest single electricity user at the plant. This study has investigated gain scheduling PI control at the Kappala wastewater treatment plant in full-scale operation and by simulation using a calibrated model of the plant. The aim was to vary the controller settings based on the…
