In this research, proportional-integral (PI) and Fuzzy logic control (FLC) strategies are designed to control wastewater treatment processes at the whole plant level. Two control combination strategies are implemented to minimize the operational cost index (OCI) and effluent quality index (EQI). The benchmark simulation model (BSM2-P) is used as a working platform. In close resemblance to practical operations, the sensors are considered as non-ideal with delay and also having measurement noise. Binary-level control topology is designed in which the lower-level PI controller is used to control the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the second aerobic reactor by manipulating the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (K L a) of the last three aerobic reactors and FLC is designed at the supervisory level based on Ammonia levels. Ammonia in the second aerobic reactor is taken as a feedback signal for FLC to compute the DO setpoints. In comparison with non-supervisory control structures, operational cost is improved in PI-Fuzzy by 6.5%. Compared to the open-loop control, the PI controller improves effluent quality by 2.1%. Nevertheless, the combination of PI and fuzzy control shows high greenhouse gas production rates.
