Real Time Nitrification Control Nets Grand Rapids 15% Energy Savings
Abstract
Driving towards the goal to be completely powered by renewable energy by 2020, the City of Grand Rapids, Michigan has been performing process optimization projects in order to reduce energy consumption. In order to minimize the energy consumed by the aeration process, Grand Rapids partnered with Hach Company to implement the Nitrification Real Time Control system which produces a variable dissolved oxygen set point based upon real time ammonia measurements. To determine the efficiency gain of the system, one lane of aeration in the south plant was controlled via the Real Time Controller while the other two lanes were operated with a static dissolved oxygen set point. At the end of the study period it was documented that the lane controlled by the Real Time Controller produced 15% energy reduction for an annual savings of $58,728 if applied across all three lanes of aeration.
