Modeling, Instrumentation, Automation, and Optimization of Water Resource Recovery Facilities

A review of the literature published in 2014 on topics relating to water resource recovery facilities (WRRF) in the areas of modeling, instrumentation, automation and optimization of wastewater treatment is presented. Note that WEF has adopted 'WRRF' replacing such previous terms as publicly owned treatment works, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), and other terms and officially instituted this change in its publications beginning in 2012. It is anticipated the replaced terms will remain in use by other publications and authors for some time. This review will strive to maintain consistency with this change but also avoid confusion where possible.
