“…Amsterdam is pioneering with a strategy that combines flood adaptation with infrastructural renovations and with measures to reduce heat stress, air pollution or water issues as a result of extreme precipitation (Koop et al, 2018;Dai et al, 2018). Amsterdam is implementing a realtime sewer control system that optimises the storage capacity of the sewer to ensure a constant flow to the wastewater treatment plant (De Korte et al, 2009). Moreover, new gutters and storm water collection systems are constructed to temporarily store rainwater (Van der Hoek et al, 2014).…”

Amsterdam is also implementing a real-time sewer control system that optimises the storage capacity of the sewer to ensure a constant flow to the wastewater treatment plant (De Korte et al, 2009). In order to make the sewage infrastructure more resilient and sustainable, the local water utility Waternet has set out various objectives in the "Municipal Sewage Plan Amsterdam" (Waternet, 2016).…”

“…Wastewater flow control in the sewer system to improve treatment plant automation was reported at the first Vienna Workshop (Anderson 1972). The topic reappeared at the 2011 conference mainly regarding nutrient removal optimisation (de Korte et al 2009;Hartwig 2012). Interestingly, the close relationship between sewer system and treatment plant did not show up in the LWWTP topics.…”

Large wastewater treatment plants (>50,000 population equivalents) treat more than 80% of the wastewater treated on a global scale, today it might be even >90%. They therefore provide the most relevant contribution to water protection from urban and industrial wastewater. This was already the case in 1971 when academics realised that progress in the scientific community alone will not succeed in a rapid transfer of research results to practitioners in design and operation of these plants. At the same time, it was recognised that urgent problems in practice are not recognised early enough by the globally networking scientific community. The most effective means of solving these problems was the creation of a new forum where experts from both sides meet. Scientists normally create their special conferences and workshops to enhance global co-operation in their specific field of research and development. This is reflected in the existence of many IWA Specialist Groups (SG) with global representation. The IWA Large Wastewater Treatment Plants (LWWTP) events and the formation of the LWWTP Specialist Group have been the first to take care of a complex technology for water protection, where specialists from most of other SGs can meet and discuss together with the practitioners designing and operating treatment plants. In fact, many new Specialist Groups had their origin in the workshop series starting in 1971 in Vienna taking care of many specific problems reported from practice. The managers and chief operators of large plants, usually only served by meetings of national professional associations, got a new opportunity for global exchange of knowledge and experience together with the global network of scientists and researchers.

'Classical' real-time control (RTC) strategies in sewer systems are based on water level and flow measurements with the goal of activation of retention volume. The control system rule of 'clean (storm water) runoff into the receiving water - polluted runoff into the treatment plant' has been thwarted by rough operating conditions and lack of measurements. Due to the specific boundary conditions in the city of Wuppertal's separate sewer system (clean stream water is mixed with polluted storm water runoff) a more sophisticated--pollution-based--approach was needed. In addition the requirements to be met by the treatment of storm water runoff have become more stringent in recent years. To separate the highly-polluted storm water runoff during rain events from the cleaner stream flow a pollution-based real-time control (P-RTC) system was developed and installed. This paper describes the measurement and P-RTC equipment, the definition of total suspended solids as the pollution-indicating parameter, the serviceability of the system, and also gives a cost assessment. A sensitivity analysis and pollution load calculations have been carried out in order to improve the P-RTC algorithm. An examination of actual measurements clearly shows the ecological and economic advantages of the P-RTC strategy.
