    Abstract

    The initial work for the creation of a new automatic CAD system for advanced effluent treatment processes is presented. The creation of a computer model for a completely mixed aerator is described. The computer model consisted of two interacting non-linear differential equations, which were linearised to give an approximate computer model. Optimal control theory was applied to the design of a controller for this system and a series of experiments examined the system performance using both the new computer model and the new controller.
