Abstract
A New Method for Upset Prediction: ATP-based Biomonitoring and Statistical Process Analysis at Two Refinery Wastewater PlantsBiological wastewater treatment processes are notoriously unstable when used in a variety of industries, but none more so than the chemical and refining industries. This is primarily due to frequent release of toxic substances into wastewater by manufacturing operations. Operators of these downstream wastewater treatment facilities would benefit from reliable and fast information on the quantity...Author(s)P.E. NormanP.
