  • the effluent quality module 160 operates to perform checks on the effluent quality of the wastewater treatment plant. This function utilizes both sensor-recorded and lab measured effluent quality for comparison.

  • the plurality of sensors in the wastewater treatment process (WWTP) plant are employed or deployed for monitoring process performance and condition.
  • the proper operation of the deployed sensors is therefore crucial to the monitoring of WWTP and any adjustments of the parameters.
  • Sensor validation is therefore a factor to the success of process monitoring.
  • the sensors may be used for automatic control (e.g. feedback and feedforward control) of plant performance.
  • the sensor used in a control law has to be reliable. If a sensor reads a wrong value, too much resources (e.g. energy for aeration) may be used or the resultant treatment may deviate from the desired results.
  • faulty sensors that are either completely or partially failing (hard fault or soft fault) provide incorrect information for monitoring and control. This can be detrimental to decision schemes that are based on, or supported by, on-line measurements. A complete sensor failure disables access to the relevant measurement. Monitoring or control based on the measurement is then infeasible.
  • data of hundreds of sensors may be collected from the SCADA for process monitoring and control.
  • the first type of sensor (i.e. first sensor type) include ‘status sensors’ deployed to obtain statuses of a device, such as a pump. Such statuses can depend on the number of operating modes associated with the device. For example, the statuses of a pump can include an‘open’ status and a‘closed’ status. The statuses can be assigned the values of 0 or 1 respectively. It is appreciable that statuses may involve more than an ‘on’ and an ‘off state. Some equipment/devices may include other statuses such as‘increasing speed/force’,‘constant speed/force’, etc.
  • the second type of sensor relates to measurement devices which are deployed to obtain measurements of wastewater treatment parameters, such as flowrate, pH, temperature, pressure etc. Some of these sensors may be deployed to measure and obtain continuous readings. It is appreciable that measurements for both influent and effluent wastewater parameters may be obtained.
  • Fig. 2 shows an exemplary faulty sensor audit flowchart for measurement sensors. Regarding the measurement sensors, the steps for auditing sensors are described as follows.
  • data may be collected from each measurement sensor at a pre-determ ined interval.
  • Different measurement sensors may be associated with different pre-determ ined intervals.
  • the collection frequency associated with each deployed measurement sensor (also referred to as online sensor), can be based on a pre-determ ined time, for example, every 5 minutes interval per data collection.
  • the online sensor dataset collected is sent (remotely or otherwise) to the sensor fault detection module 120 via an input interface.
  • the data is processed by a fault sensor analysis algorithm, which is installed in the sensor fault detection module 120.
  • the most recent data point (from a collected dataset) obtained from a sensor may be checked by the fault sensor analysis algorithm.
  • a subset of the collected dataset (comprising a number of data points) may be checked.
  • the sensor dataset is checked for any sensor faults.
  • Such checks may include, but are not limited to, detecting or checking: -
  • the faulty sensor detection logic shown in Fig. 2 includes the following detection and check steps.
  • Sensor failure or disconnection (see Step 1 ) - This may be based on detection of a sensor signal transmitted from a sensor to the sensor fault detection module 120.
  • the sensor signal may be in the form of an electrical signal having 4 to 20 milliamperes (mA) transmitted from the sensor to the sensor fault detection module 120.
  • Such sensor signals function like regular‘heartbeat signal(s)’. If a sensor signal has previously been received by the fault detection module 120 but is subsequently not received for a period of time, absence of such heartbeat signal could indicate a data transmission issue or a sensor failure or disconnection.
  • a constant data entry with no updates for a period of time may indicate a data transmission issue (i.e. constant heartbeat signals over a prolonged period), while a zero-value associated with the data received (and entered into a database) may indicate sensor failure (see step 3).
  • Negative faulty sensor (see Step 2) - Detection and checks may be performed to detect if a sensor or a selected group of sensors measure(s) a negative value. Any negative value transmitted by such sensor(s) may indicate a fault on such sensors, which are supposed to transmit non-negative values (i.e. > 0). Exceptions are created for certain sensors, such as Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) sensors, as such ORP sensors can obtain negative-value measurements.
  • ORP Oxidation-Reduction Potential
  • Step 3 Zero faulty sensor (see Step 3) -
  • the detection and checks may be performed to detect if a sensor or a selected group of sensors sense a zero value for a pre-determ ined period. Any zero-value transmitted by such sensor(s) for the pre-determ ined period may indicate a fault on such sensors, as sensor(s) typically provide non-zeros readings under normal operation conditions. Exceptions are created for certain sensors, such as flow sensors, as such flow sensors can obtain zero-valued measurements.
  • Constant number fault (see Step 4) -
  • the detection and checks may be performed to detect if a sensor or a selected group of sensors sense a constant value for a pre-determ ined period. Any constant value transmitted by such sensor(s) for the pre-determ ined period may indicate a fault on the data connection of such sensors, as sensor readings typically fluctuates under normal operation conditions. Exceptions are created for certain sensors, such as flow sensors, as such flow sensors can obtain constant value measurements.
  • Sensor drift fault (e.) Sensor drift fault (see Step 5) - Accuracy of a sensor could be compromised over time due to a variety of reasons, such as impurities build up, or wear-and-tear, for example. Such a phenomenon is known as sensor- drift. Sensor drift faults can be detected via a number of ways, such as constantly increasing or constantly decreasing measurements. Such faults indicate that the sensor(s) need to undergo repairs, maintenance, or replacements.
  • Sensor spike fault (see Step 7) -
  • a sensor spike may occur when there are interferences which can affect the readings, such as electromagnetic interferences.
  • unauthorized tempering such as the unauthorized addition of purified water in the wastewater treatment plant may also result in sensor spike readings. While not all sensor spikes are faults, all sensor spikes are flagged for further investigation(s) and/or analysis.
  • steps 1 to 3 are process steps configured to check the most recent data point associated with the particular sensor.
  • a heartbeat signal not obtained from a particular sensor can indicate sensor failure or disconnection.
  • Step 4 checks the latest pre-set or pre-determ ined data points, for example 20, where 20 is the default number and can be adjusted for different wastewater applications.
  • Step 5 a linear fit (based on linear regression or otherwise) of the latest one-day data (over 24 hours) is performed to obtain a predication of various values, which may then be used to calculate an R squared value (R2). If the absolute R2 value is greater or equal to a pre-set value (for example R2 > 0.7), the data shows drift.
  • the threshold 0.7 can be adjustable depending on applications.
  • the one day data points may be extracted to calculate its mean value, and if the latest mean value is more than or equal to a pre-set or pre- determined number or less than or equal to (i.e. > 3 times the mean value or ⁇ 1/3 times the mean value), it is identified as spike, where 3 and 1/3 can be adjustable depending on applications.
  • data collection frequency for the status sensors may be performed every predetermined interval, such as 5 minutes.
  • Each deployed status sensor data is checked by the fault sensor analysis function.
  • the first step s302 checks if a pump status (either 1 or 0) is obtained. If there is no pump status, an alarm is generated and reported.
  • step s302 If a pump status is ascertained to be present based on step s302 but is not 1 or 0, an invalid pump status is detected. An alarm will be generated and reported (step s304). [0050] If a valid pump status is obtained, the algorithm performs other checks on the pump (step s306).
  • the status sensors provide a value of 1 and 0 for the indication of on/off. In other embodiments, there may be additional statuses (2, 3, etc.) associated with different modes of operating the sensors.
  • the statuses of the pump sensors may be provided separately.
  • the effluent parameter module 140 operates to perform audit of one or more effluent wastewater parameters.
