Biosensor
o Defined as sensors that allow
  the measurement and
  interpretation of the biological
  response of activated sludge to
  a known disturbance.
o Which converts a biological
  response into an electrical
  signal
o Detects, records and transmit
• To obtain specific information
  about one or several activated
  sludge processes.
• This information can serve as
  plant performance indicators.
• Most often in the form of a
  substrate addition :

                Purpose
  i. organic carbon,
  ii. nitrogen,
  iii.mixtures,
Working principle




a – Bio-element
b – Transducer
c – Amplifier
d – Processor
e – Display
Application
• The application of biosensor in
  wastewater treatment described
  about removal of COD and N
  removal processes
• Divided into two direction :
  i. On-line sensors
      - To obtain information about
       wastewater treatment plant
  ii. More advanced dynamic
     models
Respirometer
Application of biosensor in wastewater treatment
Advantages
• Small volume
• Ease from construction
• Ability to be used at low
  pO2 values
• The ability to rapidly
  change the composition of
  the buffer in which tissue
  slices are suspended.
Conclusions
• Full understanding of the
  complicated        biological
  interactions in a wastewater
  treatment plant is essential
  to optimize treatment plant
  operation,      aiming     at
  reaching a good effluent
  quality   against    minimum
