Description

The removal of microcontaminants, such as pharmaceutical compounds or pesticides, which is one of the main concerns in municipal wastewater regeneration jointly with harmful microorganisms, can be performed through the combination of appropriate nanofiltration (NF) systems with advanced oxidation post-treatments.

This work analyzes the optimization of the NF process operation to contribute to the industrialization of this application for the separation and pre-concentration of microcontaminants from municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents. It consists of a multivariable system with coupling between its variables. By applying the inverted decoupling method, the control performance has been improved by 18% compared to the case with no decoupler, in simulation.
