MOLIT provides advanced operation & management model that significantly improves upon existing operation of sewerage/wastewater treatment facilities using self-developed techniques such as bioreactor optimal control technology and total phosphorus (T-P) optimal treatment technology.

Application Effect

Existing methods

Bioreactor process Management

  • Use of multiple measurement equipment, Reduced efficiency of operation & management
  • Unavailable individual process control, Reduction of energy efficiency

Total phosphorus (T-P) process management

  • Difficulty in calculating optimal chemical input according to water quality property
  • T-P meter lack of retreatment function deterioration of reliability of water quality data

Process improvement plan

Bioreactor integrated control Total-Solution

  • Measuring with one meter in one place,
    → Accurate and consistent measurement
  • Optimal process control per pond according to water quality and state
    → Efficient use of energy

Total phosphorus (T-P) optimal control technology

  • Real-time measurement of water quality properties using smart Jar-test technique
    → Decision of chemical input with 5-min unit
  • Using automatic pretreatment system and washing function, → Accurate measurement of phosphorus concentration

Customized operation & management by process state

Complying with legal discharge water quality

Water treatment facilities Increase of operational convenience

Reduction of operation and chemical costs
