Description

  The present invention relates to a monitoring and control system for a water supply facility that supports monitoring and control of a water supply facility, and in particular, a water supply facility suitable for operations such as chemical injection for reducing the environmental load generated in the process of producing water. The present invention relates to a supervisory control system.

With the issuance of the Kyoto Protocol, it is necessary to reduce the environmental impact while suppressing CO ₂ emissions. In addition, since it is subject to the Energy Conservation Law, 1% reduction in energy consumption is required every year. Environmental load reduction measures for water supply facilities include water distribution control that takes into account demand plans and power intensity, introduction of energy-saving equipment such as inverters, solar power generation and small hydropower generation. In addition, in the water purification process, contributions from rationalization of chemical injection and operation management can be considered.

  As for chemical injection, there are coagulants, chlorinating agents, acid-alkali agents, powdered activated carbon, and the like as main chemicals in clean water, which are injected according to the intended use. Among these drugs, the injection of the flocculant is important from the viewpoint of environmental load. The flocculant is injected to remove turbidity in the tap water in the process of coagulation sedimentation and filtration.

  The flocculant is not only the environmental load related to drug production, but also the treatment of separated purified water sludge, that is, treatment for concentration, dewatering drainage, transportation, final disposal, or sludge reuse, or sludge in a sedimentation basin. It is an environmental load in the form of power to squeeze and pull out the water, supply of backwash water to backwash and remove turbidity accumulated in the filter layer, and energy consumption associated with cleaning of the filter layer.

  For this reason, in the operation related to the water purification treatment, it is considered that optimizing the control of the operation related to the turbidity contributes to the reduction of environmental load.

  Conventionally, methods using various water qualities and input parameters have been proposed as control methods for injecting the flocculant. For example, in the conventional technique described in [Patent Document 1], an apparatus for automating the flocculant injection control is shown. This technique pays attention to the influence which the flowing current in the raw water has on the coagulation effect when the coagulant is added. The injection amount of the flocculant is determined using the flow current, alkalinity, conductivity, water temperature, turbidity, pH, etc. as parameters.

  Moreover, as a chemical injection control method in consideration of environmental load, there is a conventional technique described in [Patent Document 2]. This technique targets membrane filtration and agglomeration operation as its pretreatment, and controls the pretreatment, that is, the agglomeration agent injection, so as to minimize the cost of injecting the flocculant and operating the membrane.

  As with many known examples relating to the control of flocculant injection, in the conventional technique described in [Patent Document 1], the control target is set to the turbidity of precipitation treated water, and the flocculant for suppressing this to a predetermined level or less. The injection control and the related pH and alkalinity are adjusted. In this case, in order to optimize the injection rate of the flocculant, the amount of sludge generated from the flocculant is suppressed, which contributes to reducing the environmental load. However, as described above, there are other operations related to the turbidity treatment, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to derive an operation condition that can reduce the environmental load in consideration of these operations.

  On the other hand, in the conventional technique described in [Patent Document 2], although the costs of coagulation and membrane filtration are minimized, many actual water supply facilities include as a management range other than water treatment from intake to wastewater treatment. The constraints are not considered. In addition, the water source to be subjected to membrane treatment has been expanded to surface water in recent years, but the majority is overflow water and well water with relatively good water quality. Therefore, in cases where the water quality is relatively poor, such as lakes and rivers that are likely to be the source of water for large-scale water purification facilities, and various aggregation-inhibiting components and organisms are used as raw water, they are not necessarily considered in the pretreatment of membrane treatment. There was a problem in that there were no ingredients.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring and control system for a water supply facility for performing a plant operation for reducing environmental load in consideration of a process related to turbidity treatment in the water supply facility.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a water quality and process for storing water quality and process information input to the monitoring and control system in a monitoring and control system for water supply facilities related to water production including turbidity treatment steps. Using a database, a constraint condition database that stores water quality or operating condition items and values that are the constraint conditions for operating a turbidity treatment process, means for measuring turbidity treatment, water quality, and process information The turbidity treatment process in a predetermined period using the turbidity load evaluation unit that predicts at least one of water quality, sludge amount, or process information in the turbidity treatment process and the prediction result of the operation status Is provided with a control amount evaluation unit for calculating the operating conditions of the turbidity treatment process so that the CO ₂ emission amount generated from the water is calculated and the CO ₂ emission amount is minimized in a predetermined period.

  According to the present invention, using the water quality, process information, and raw water quality, at least one of water quality, sludge amount, or process information in the turbidity treatment process is predicted by the operation status prediction means, and the prediction result is also used. Since the environmental load generated from the turbidity treatment process in a predetermined period is evaluated and the turbidity treatment process is operated so that the environmental load becomes the minimum in the predetermined period, the turbidity removal processing operation The environmental load concerning can be reduced.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a monitoring control system according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the monitoring control system according to the present embodiment includes a management server 1, monitoring control means 2, and a water treatment facility 10 connected by a control LAN 3.

  A water treatment facility 10 to be monitored and controlled includes a water intake facility 11, a water purification facility 12, a water supply facility 13, a water supply / distribution facility 14, and a wastewater treatment facility 15.

  The raw water is taken from the water facility 11 and received by the landing well 21 of the water purification facility 12. The water received at the landing well 21 is sent to the mixing basin 22. In the mixing basin 22, PAC (polyaluminum chloride) is injected into the raw water from the PAC injection equipment 28, and the raw water and PAC are sufficiently mixed by rapid stirring. PAC, a flocculant, is injected to remove turbid components. The injection rate is set by the management server 1.

  After the PAC injection, most of the suspended matter is removed from the water in the coagulation sedimentation basin 23 through the process of micro floc formation, floc growth, and floc sedimentation. The precipitated floc is withdrawn periodically or using the accumulated amount of floc as an index, and transferred to the wastewater treatment facility 15. Although the turbidity is not completely removed in the coagulation sedimentation basin 23, the turbidity is usually controlled to be about 1 degree.

  Measuring means 26A is installed in the landing well 21, measuring means 26B is installed in the coagulating sedimentation basin 23, measuring means 26C is installed in the filtration basin 24, and measuring means 26D is installed in the wastewater treatment facility 15.

  The standard of turbidity required for tap water is 2 degrees, but if there is concern about the risk of Cryptosporidium or Giardia if sewage treatment is discharged upstream, 0.1 degrees or less with filtered water. Turbidity is required. It is difficult to always achieve a turbidity of 0.1 degrees or less by coagulation sedimentation, and a filtration treatment is performed in the filtration basin 24 in order to reduce the turbidity remaining in the precipitation treated water to a predetermined level.

  The filter basin 24 includes a filter layer formed of filter sand, anthracite, or the like, and removes turbidity. Usually, a plurality of filtration ponds are installed. In the case of a rapid filtration basin, the filtration rate is generally 120 to 150 m / d. However, if turbidity accumulates in the filtration layer, the loss head of the filtration layer becomes high and the filtration rate cannot be secured. Therefore, the filtration layer surface is regularly cleaned and backwashed by the filter basin cleaning equipment 27. Usually, the cleaning operation is performed at intervals of about 60 hours by timer control. Cleaning is also performed when the loss head exceeds the set value. The cleaning water containing the sludge generated at this time is sent to the wastewater treatment facility 15.

  The filtered water is stored in the water purification basin 25 and supplied to consumers as supply areas via the water transmission facility 13 and the water supply / distribution facility 14.

  The wastewater treatment facility 15 includes a regulating tank, a concentration facility, and a dehydration facility. The waste water containing a lot of turbidity discharged from the water purification facility 12 is temporarily stored in the adjustment tank. Usually, a sedimentation concentration method is employed for concentration, but a mechanical method such as centrifugation may be used. On the other hand, there are natural drying method and mechanical dehydration method for dehydration, and there are various types of devices such as centrifugal dehydration, belt press and screw press as mechanical dehydration methods.

  In the water purification treatment, in addition to the chemical injection for removing turbidity as described above and the treatment accompanying it, residual chlorine management for disinfection is performed. For example, a disinfectant such as sodium hypochlorite is used. Being injected.

  The management server 1 includes a computer such as a personal computer and software on the computer. The monitoring control means 2 monitors the monitoring information in the water treatment facility 10 via the control LAN 3 and executes device operations such as actuators in the actual facility in accordance with a control command from the management server 1. Examples of the monitoring information sent to the monitoring control means 2 and the management server 1 via the control LAN 3 include water quality measurement information such as turbidity and pH, flow rate, head loss, water pressure, and drug injection amount.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing details of the management server 1 of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the management server 1 includes a CPU 30, a water quality, a process database 34, a constraint database 35, and a CO ₂ emission basic unit. A database 36, a water intake plan database 37, a processing performance database 38, a network interface (IF) 32, a data input / output terminal 33, and a memory 31 are provided.

  The memory 31 stores a turbid load evaluation program 40 and a control evaluation program 41, and the CPU 30 executes this program to perform each evaluation.

  When performing the evaluation, the network interface 32 communicates with the monitoring control means 2 connected to the control LAN 3, and the water quality, the process database 34, the water quality, the operation conditions as process operation information, and the electric energy are associated with the measurement date and time. Stored. Moreover, you may store the amount of treated water, the coagulant | flocculant injection rate, the frequency | count of washing | cleaning of a filter pond, the sludge load amount of a wastewater treatment facility, the past similar raw water, the removal performance in an operating condition, etc. These data are measured by the measuring means 26, or input to the water quality / process database 34 after the user performs analysis offline.

  The constraint condition database 35 stores items that give constraint conditions, values of the constraint conditions, and conditions for executing the constraints. Items that give constraint conditions include water quality items such as turbidity and pH of precipitated treated water and filtered water, process operation items such as coagulant injection rate and water intake, and operation costs for each operation. Constraints on water quality and operating conditions include the amount of treated water, filtered water turbidity, head loss, time variation of head loss, filtration duration, and load on wastewater treatment facilities.

  These items include items derived as evaluation indexes from these data sets in addition to items stored and managed in the water quality and process data database 34. Therefore, the constraint condition database 35 also manages the water quality, process data items, and calculation modules used for calculating these evaluation indexes. In addition, as the value of the constraint condition, a plurality of values such as upper and lower limit values and stepwise constraint condition values can be set for items that give the same constraint condition.

In the CO ₂ emission basic unit database 36, basic units for converting resources and energy amounts used in connection with the use of chemicals and electric power, disposal of sludge, etc. into CO ₂ generation amounts are recorded.

In the operations related to the removal of turbidity, injection of chemicals (flocculating agent), operation of stirring device (rapid stirring, slow stirring), filter basin cleaning (pumping of washing water and backwashing water, supply of washing water, backwashing water Supply), operation of drainage facilities (concentrators, dehydrators), transport of sludge, etc. have an impact on CO ₂ emissions as consumption of chemicals, electricity and fuel.

The “Guidelines for Formulating an Action Plan to Prevent Global Warming in Waterworks (Ministry of Construction, August 1999)” describes the basic unit of CO ₂ generation in water treatment in addition to sewage. For PAC and aluminum sulfate, which are agents, numerical values of 405 kg-CO ₂ / t and 357 kg-CO ₂ / t are shown, respectively. Further, regarding the use of electric power, there are values such as 0.384 kg-CO ₂ / kWh, and the CO ₂ emission coefficient accompanying waste transportation is 0.003 kg-CO ₂ / kg.

  In the water intake plan database 37, a planned value of water intake considering the demand is recorded. Water intake is set in units of minutes and hours. Further, since the demand amount changes depending on the temperature, season, day of the week, weekday / holiday, and presence / absence of an event, a water intake plan pattern corresponding to each is recorded in the water plan database 37.

  The treatment performance database 38 stores data on turbidity removal performance in each process of the water purification plant, and turbidity load on the process or index data related to the turbidity load.

  In this embodiment, as data relating to turbidity removal performance, data for predicting sedimentation water turbidity and filtered water turbidity is stored for raw water quality parameters and operating conditions. Also, as turbidity load and its index data, as will be described later, data for calculating evaluation index for accumulation of turbidity in filtration basin and evaluation index for turbidity load to wastewater treatment facility is stored. I will do it. Moreover, the information regarding the treatment performance according to the water quality, the operating conditions, and the planned water volume is stored.

  As raw water quality parameters and operating conditions, it is necessary to consider at least turbidity and coagulant injection rate. On the other hand, as parameters relating to turbidity accumulation, items such as raw water turbidity, coagulant injection rate, turbidity of precipitated treated water, amount of treated water, and filtration duration can be considered.

  FIG. 3 shows a processing flow in the turbid load evaluation program 40. The turbid load evaluation program 40 calculates the load due to the turbidity and the flocculant within a predetermined period set by the user, for example. Here, the predetermined period includes, for example, 24 hours, a filtration washing interval, and the like, and a period related to the management work of the raw water quality, the water purification facility 12, the wastewater treatment facility 16, the water transmission facility 13, etc. is set. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the present example, the load amount is calculated by the turbidity load on the filtration basin (depending on the turbidity of the precipitated treated water and the turbidity removal performance by the treated water amount) and the sludge load on the wastewater treatment facility 15 (raw water turbidity , Depending on the flocculant injection rate and the amount of treated water).

  In S401, an evaluation period (t1) set by the user is acquired. In S402 to S404, the operating conditions, the amount of water, and the water quality in the evaluation period (t1) are acquired. The data acquisition method is changed depending on the presence or absence of these actually measured data in this period.

  In S402, if there is measured data of the flocculant injection rate, the number of times of filtration basin washing, and the sludge load amount to the wastewater treatment facility within a predetermined period, the operating conditions are acquired from the water quality and process database 34. On the other hand, when there is no actual measurement data, the latest actual measurement data of the flocculant injection rate and raw water turbidity is acquired as the operating conditions in the subsequent period.

In S403, when there is treated water amount data within a predetermined period, the treated water amount (m ³ / h) is acquired from the water quality and process database 34. When there is no actual measurement data, a water intake plan corresponding to the day of the week and the temperature is acquired from the water intake plan database 37 as a planned water amount that is a treated water amount.

  In 404, information on the processing performance corresponding to the water quality from the evaluation time point to the end of the predetermined period, the operating conditions, and the planned water volume is acquired from the processing performance database 38.

  In S405, the load factor due to the turbidity and the flocculant during the period when there is no actual measurement data of the operation condition is calculated, and the values of the operation condition, the treated water amount, the water quality, and the load amount are output for each date and time.

  As an example of the information regarding the processing performance acquired in S404, the diagrams shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are used. Here, the turbidity load to the filtration pond is obtained using the raw water turbidity, the flocculant (PAC) injection rate, and the amount of treated water. In FIG. 4, a diagram for evaluating sedimentation water turbidity is shown as an example, and in FIG. 5, a diagram for evaluating loss head is shown as an example. In the diagram for evaluating the turbidity of the precipitation-treated water, the degree to which the PAC injection contributes to turbidity removal with respect to the raw water turbidity is obtained as the coefficient k1. When the raw water turbidity increases, the floc concentration increases and the agglomeration efficiency is improved. In this example, k1 expresses water temperature dependency, and since the effect of aggregation is low in the low water temperature period, k1 is set to a small value. In step S405, k1 is used to calculate the precipitation-treated water turbidity according to equation (1).

[Equation 1]
(Precipitation treated water turbidity) = (Raw water turbidity) −k1 × (PAC injection rate) (1)

  Moreover, in the case of turbidity load evaluation to a filtration pond, as shown in FIG. 5, the property k2 of the turbidity accumulate | stored in a filter layer is acquired as what depends on PAC / raw water turbidity. Although the dependence on PAC / raw water turbidity is small, in the region where PAC injection is excessive, the composition of the turbidity trapped in the filter layer changes, and the degree of influence on the loss head is greatly increased. Using this k2, an evaluation index based on the turbid load on the filtration basin is calculated by Equation 2.

[Equation 2]
(Turbidity load to filtration pond) = ∫k2 × (precipitation treated water mass) × (treated water amount) dt (2)

  Here, the range to be integrated is a predetermined period set by the user. The estimated value estimated above is used for future sedimentation water turbidity.

  Moreover, about the load amount to a wastewater treatment facility, it calculates | requires and evaluates the load amount to a wastewater treatment facility by Formula 3.

[Equation 3]
(Load to wastewater treatment facility) = k3 × ∫ {(flocculating agent injection amount) + (powder activated carbon injection amount) +
(Raw water mass)} × (Amount of treated water) dt (3)

  The processing performance database 38 stores this diagram information and extracts k1 and k2 according to the water quality and operating conditions. In addition to the method using the diagram, a) an evaluation formula with multiple variables as input (Prediction formula), b) Water quality, a method of extracting the removal performance in the past similar raw water and operating conditions from the process database, c) a method of using the treatment performance at the time of evaluation. As information to be stored in the processing performance database 38, in the case of a), in the case of a), in the case of b), in the case of b), the extraction item and the extraction condition (evaluation index such as the range and ratio of the value to be extracted, Mahalanobis distance), c ), The period to be referred to and the data processing method within the period are used.

FIG. 6 shows a processing flow in the control amount evaluation program 41. The control amount evaluation program 41 sets the filter basin washing operation timing based on the turbid load and the constraint conditions, and calculates the CO ₂ emission amount due to the chemical injection, washing, and waste water treatment. The evaluation is performed while changing the operating conditions, and the operating conditions that minimize the CO ₂ emission amount are searched.

  In S501, the output result from the turbid load evaluation program 40 is acquired. In S502, the evaluation period set by the user is acquired. In S <b> 503, the constraint condition regarding the water quality and the operation condition is acquired from the constraint condition database 35. In this embodiment, the constraint conditions are set as treated water volume, filtered water turbidity, head loss, time variation of head loss, duration of filtration, and load on wastewater treatment facility.

  Filtration water turbidity is a high-priority constraint condition because it needs to be controlled to 0.1 degrees or less at a water purification plant taking water from a water source that may be contaminated with Cryptosporidium. Loss head is an important constraint in securing a certain amount of treated water in each area. Importantly, if the time change of the head loss is large, the number of times the filtration basin is washed increases, and the time available for the original filtration treatment is shortened, resulting in the possibility that the amount of treated water cannot be secured. It is a restrictive condition. The filtration continuation time is an important constraint condition for preventing the filtration basin washing operation from being concentrated on a specific date and time and the amount of treated water being unable to be secured. The amount of load on the wastewater treatment facility is limited because it may impose restrictions on water purification and tap water supply if the treatment capacity of the wastewater treatment facility is exceeded when high turbidity raw water flows in for a long time. It is necessary to make it a condition.

  In S504, the water quality and process data related to the constraint conditions are acquired. Using the water quality and process data and the evaluation result of the operation status obtained in S501, the satisfaction status of the constraint condition is determined in S505. Here, if the constraint condition is not satisfied, the operation condition relating to the future operation within the evaluation period is changed in S511, and the turbid load evaluation program 40 is executed again. In the operation condition setting of S402 to S404, the condition of S511 is prioritized.

  The operating conditions are changed in the order of the washing operation of the filter basin, the coagulant injection rate, the operation of the wastewater treatment facility, and the amount of treated water. That is, the execution date and time of the washing operation of the filter basin is changed, and it is determined whether the constraint condition is satisfied. If the restriction condition cannot be satisfied only by the washing operation of the filter basin, the procedure is to determine whether the restriction condition is satisfied by changing the flocculant injection rate. Satisfy the conditions.

On the other hand, if the constraint condition is satisfied, the basic unit is acquired from the CO ₂ emission basic unit database 36 in S506. In S507, the CO ₂ emission amount by each operation in a predetermined period is evaluated. Each operation is the amount of CO ₂ emission related to chemical use, filter basin cleaning, wastewater treatment, water intake, and water transfer. If there is actual data before the evaluation, use that data, For further evaluation of the amount of CO ₂ generated in the future, calculation is performed using the operation conditions of S505. In S508, these CO ₂ emissions are totaled and temporarily stored.

In S509, the presence / absence of another chemical injection condition for which the CO ₂ emission amount is not evaluated is determined. If the constraint condition is satisfied, the chemical injection condition is changed and re-evaluated. On the other hand, when there is no other chemical injection condition, the chemical injection condition that minimizes the CO ₂ emission evaluated in S508 is extracted, and the chemical injection condition in the water supply facility is changed to this value.

In an example of this processing flow, without setting the CO ₂ emissions as a constraint, but CO ₂ emissions is searching for dosing conditions the lowest, the upper limit of the separate, CO ₂ emissions and the process flow A value can be added to the constraint condition, and a drug injection condition that satisfies the constraint condition and is closer to the drug injection amount at the time of evaluation can be searched and adjusted.

In this embodiment, the CO ₂ emission amount is evaluated, but the emission amount including other greenhouse gases such as CH ₄ and N ₂ O may be evaluated without being limited to CO ₂ .

  In the present embodiment, the turbidity load evaluation program 40 performs information processing for improving the prediction accuracy related to processes such as future water quality and loss head from the time of evaluation.

  Methods for improving the prediction accuracy include: a) a method for estimating changes in turbidity of raw water taken from water intake facilities in the future based on upstream information, that is, turbidity and rainfall measurement results; b) other than turbidity In addition, there is a method of predicting by using measurement results of factors affecting coagulation sedimentation treatment, filtration treatment, and wastewater treatment performance.

  When using information on the upstream side, it is possible to improve the prediction accuracy of future water quality in consideration of the time required to reach the medicinal point from the measurement point. Since the turbidity of the river and the turbidity at the landing well may not match, the turbidity of the landing well is estimated using the correlation between the turbidity of the river and the turbidity at the landing well. Similarly, when measuring the rainfall in the water source area, a correlation equation between the rainfall and the raw water turbidity is obtained in advance, and the raw water turbidity is estimated.

  In the turbid load evaluation program 40, in S401, an estimated value of the future water quality is acquired as described above. Using this estimated value, the injection rate of the drug is determined from the injection rate equation or diagram at a predetermined time interval (t2).

  In S404 and S405, processing performance acquisition and load amount evaluation at each time are performed.

Next, the control amount evaluation program 41 searches for the operation condition that minimizes the CO ₂ emission amount among the operation conditions that satisfy the constraint conditions described in the first embodiment. At this time, in the operation condition change step of S511, the change pattern of the drug injection rate with respect to the estimated value of the future water quality is, for example, with respect to the injection rate at each time obtained from the injection rate equation and the diagram shown in Equation 4 A method of multiplying by a constant coefficient and a method of weighting with the removal performance with respect to the injection rate shown in Equation 5 are used.

[Equation 4]
(Injection rate after change) _{t = ti} = R × (injection rate before change) _{t = ti} (4)
[Equation 5]
(Injection rate after change) _{t = ti} = R × w1i _{t = ti} × (injection rate before change) _{t = ti} (5)

  Here, wi is a weight using the treatment performance predicted from the raw water quality and the injection rate as a parameter.

  On the other hand, parameters when influencing factors other than turbidity include items such as pH, alkalinity, water temperature, organic matter, algae (type, number concentration), flowing current, metal ion concentration, and particle size distribution of turbidity. Can think. In particular, organic substances typified by humic acid and fulvic acid and some algae (such as microcystis) work in the direction of inhibiting aggregation. By setting the coagulant injection rate formula for each treated water turbidity, it is possible to improve the accuracy of predicting the amount of chemical injection and the load of turbidity on the filtration pond. As the injection rate equation, for example, Equations 6 and 7 are used.

[Equation 6]
(PAC injection rate) = Σ (mi × Ci) + b1 (6)
[Equation 7]
(PAC injection rate) = b2Π (Ci ^ ni) (7)

  Here, Ci is a value of the parameter i, mi and ni are coefficients related to the parameter i, and b1 and b2 are constants.

  In calculating the evaluation index based on the accumulation of turbidity in the filter layer, the value of the index is calculated in consideration of factors that have a greater impact on the loss head compared to normal turbidity. Among algae, diatom Cinedra and merosilla are known to cause filtration blockage. Therefore, a weighting coefficient (w2i) is set as a function of these numbers of organisms, and is multiplied by the right side of Equation 2. The control amount evaluation program 41 is executed using these results.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to predict the water quality in the future, and the injection rate and load amount associated therewith by expanding the acquired data items relating to the water quality. Therefore, the prediction accuracy of the CO ₂ emission amount is improved, and a more appropriate condition can be obtained as the operation condition for minimizing the emission amount.

  A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the management server 1 is provided with an operation state database for storing operation information of each equipment device received by the monitoring control means 2. The water purification facility 12 has two series of mixing ponds, coagulation sedimentation basins, and filtration ponds, and the water treated in each series is mixed in the water purification pond 25.

  The operation state database is periodically determined by using the water quality and process data acquired by the monitoring control means 2 and the preset boundary value of the alarm notification. , Serious failure) is stored.

  In addition, in order to distinguish notifications associated with maintenance inspections and remodeling work, an input value of “under inspection” or “inspection schedule” by the user is stored in association with the date and time. In the operation state database, a minor failure, a major failure, and an operable range of the related device during inspection are set.

The operable range is a range where the equipment can actually produce performance. It is assumed that if any failure occurs, the performance will be lower than when the equipment is in a healthy state. As an example, the discharge capacity of the pump is a 1000 m ³ / h in a sound when, 500 meters ³ / h at light failure, serious failure during the 100 m ³ / h, during inspection the operation state database as 700 meters ³ / h sign up.

The turbidity load evaluation program 40 evaluates the sedimentation treatment water turbidity, the evaluation index based on the accumulation of turbidity in the filter basin, and the load on the wastewater treatment facility for each of the two systems. In S508 of the control amount evaluation program 41, the total value of the CO ₂ load amount in the entire target facility is calculated. When setting the next operation condition in S511, if any signal is recorded in the operation state database, the operation condition is set in the operable range corresponding to each state. For example, the subsequent evaluation is performed on the assumption that the vehicle is operated at an intermediate value within the operable range stored in the database.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, a case where a minor failure has occurred in the PAC injection facility 28B will be described. When the PAC injection facility 28B has a problem, the operable range, that is, the injection amount is lowered, and therefore, the operation state database stores the range of the injectable operation amount and the water amount that can be processed in advance. .

When an actual minor failure occurs, the turbid load evaluation program 40 evaluates the sedimentation water turbidity of each series within this period, assuming that the minor failure continues within a predetermined period. The control amount evaluation program 41 performs CO ₂ emission amount evaluation under various operating conditions, but it is necessary to satisfy the constraint conditions described in the first embodiment even when there is a problem. Since the operating conditions of the PAC injection facility 28B are limited, the load of the water amount on the side of the mixing basin 22 and the load on the PAC injection facility 28 increase, and the number of times of washing the filter basin also changes due to the constraint condition of the head loss. In this way, the operating condition is changed within the range set in the operating condition database, and a condition that minimizes the CO ₂ emission amount is output.

In the present embodiment, since the information regarding the operation status of the equipment is taken in, the operating condition that minimizes the CO ₂ emission amount can be evaluated within the range of the constraint conditions according to the status of the equipment. Therefore, it is possible to avoid selection and command of operating conditions that are not practically applicable, and to stably operate the plant without user intervention.

  Another embodiment for determining the operating condition in the control amount evaluation program 41 will be described.

  Normally, the constraint conditions stored in the constraint database 35 must always be satisfied. However, although it is an important index in daily management, there are those that can relax the constraint conditions in anticipation of the treatment performance in the latter stage in the case of unsteady or abnormal conditions such as deterioration of raw water quality.

  In the field of the constraint condition database 35, an allowable deviation rate for an item that gives a constraint condition is added. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the time reference and the area reference are used as the definition of the allowable deviation rate.

In the time standard, the time (t4) that deviates from the constraint condition is less than or equal to the allowable deviation rate with respect to the period (t3) from the reference date to the evaluation time point, that is, t4 ≦ t3 × (allowable deviation rate) is satisfied. Adjust the operating conditions as follows. On the other hand, in the area standard, the integral (s2) in the period deviating from the constraint condition is the allowable deviation rate with respect to the integral (s1) of the value of the item given the constraint condition in the period from the reference date to the evaluation point. The operating conditions are adjusted so as to satisfy the following condition, that is, s2 ≦ s1 × (allowable deviation rate). This determination is carried out in S505 of the control amount evaluation program 41, and the CO ₂ emission amount is evaluated in the subsequent steps for the operating conditions that have passed this step.

When applied to precipitation-treated water, the restriction condition is usually set to precipitation-treated water turbidity ≤ 1 degree. However, when the raw water becomes highly turbid or there are many organic matter and algae, In this case, the operation with the load sharing with the filter basin can be operated under conditions where the CO ₂ emission can be reduced, rather than the operation always satisfying the constraint condition of the precipitated treated water.

  By applying the operating condition determination method as in this embodiment, the priority order of the constraint conditions can be set. Moreover, in the case where the sediment-treated water is targeted, it is not necessary for the user to determine the load sharing at the time of non-stationary state or abnormality, which is effective in reducing the load on the user by automating operation.

According to each embodiment, regarding the operation control of the water supply facility, the load related to the removal of turbidity is shared by a plurality of treatments in the water supply facility, and the operation condition with a small environmental load (CO ₂ emission amount) as a whole is achieved. Can be selected.
