“…It is possible to adjust the required DO concentration in the biological reactor to meet the effluent criteria based on the influent load and effluent concentrations resulting in reduced energy consumption for different processes (Le et al, 2019 ; Rieger et al, 2019 ; Schraa et al, 2020 ). Apart from that, wet‐weather flow management, external carbon or alkalinity addition for improved nitrogen removal, chemical addition for phosphorus removal, sludge handling, and disinfection processes can be automated successfully with minimal attention from remote operators (Manoli et al, 2018 ; Mbamba et al, 2019 ; Sandino et al, 2018 ).…”

This paper includes survey results from 17 full‐scale water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) to explore their technical, operational, maintenance, and management‐related challenges during COVID‐19. Based on the survey results, limited monitoring and maintenance of instrumentation and sensors are among the critical factors during the pandemic which resulted in poor data quality in several WRRFs. Due to lockdown of cities and countries, most of the facilities observed interruptions of chemical supply frequency which impacted the treatment process involving chemical additions. Some plants observed influent flow reduction and illicit discharges from industrial wastewater which eventually affected the biological treatment processes. Delays in equipment maintenance also increased the operational and maintenance cost. Most of the plants reported that new set of personnel management rules during pandemic created difficulties in scheduling operator's shifts which directly hampered the plant operations. All the plant operators mentioned that automation, instrumentation, and sensor applications could help plant operations more efficiently while working remotely during pandemic. To handle emergency circumstances including pandemic, this paper also highlights resources and critical factors for emergency responses, preparedness, resiliency, and mitigation that can be adopted by WRRFs.

“…A system for tracking WRRF sensors routine and fault maintenance and control loop performance from automated analysis of operational data was developed and has been installed at a full-scale WRRF (Miletic, Rieger, Hübner, Schraa, & Alex, 2018). The design of a fully automated wet-weather wastewater flow management facility with minimal remote operator attention was presented (Sandino, Siczka, & Thewes, 2018).…”
