Abstract:

Advanced online control of drinking water treatment plants requires reliable models. These models in general involve temperature-dependent, uncertain parameters, which can only be measured in laboratory conditions. We propose to estimate these parameters online, using the available pH quality measurements. Since the pH measurements are a nonlinear combination of the system's states, a particle filter is used. Thanks to the cascaded nature of the plant, the estimation is also performed in a cascaded setting. The performance is evaluated both for simulated and real-world data. Results indicate that the filter can be effectively used to improve the model accuracy.
