Model-Based Control of Drinking-Water Treatment Plants

PhD thesis on model-based control of drinking-water treatment plants from the Center for Systems and Control at the Delft University of Technology. The work reviews challenges in drinking-water production, using a model-based approach, and introducing drinking-water treatment process analysis, control-design methodology, model-based monitoring, model-based optimisation of pellet softening, and model-based control of the pellet-softening treatment step.
