In the first half of this year I was asked to investigate the potential passive air flow on two odour skid's. It was thought that the current media in the tank's could be changed out with more economical product. Before this could be determined the passive flows needed to be checked before and after the extraction fan.
A positioner is a feedback controller device that ensures a control valve is in the correct position according to a control signal. It senses the valve's position and compares it to the signal from an I/P converter. Based on the difference or "error", it positions the valve to reduce the error to zero. Positioners improve the accuracy of a valve's response by reducing issues like friction, dynamic forces, and non-linearities. Modern digital positioners no longer require an I/P converter and offer additional features like diagnostics and partial stroke testing.

This document discusses the benefits of variable speed fire pump controllers compared to conventional controllers. Variable speed controllers can maintain a constant system pressure without the need for pressure reducing valves (PRVs) by adjusting the pump speed. This allows taller buildings to be designed without PRVs, saving significant costs. It also improves reliability by having redundant control circuits. While conventional controllers require PRVs for most floors in a 12-story building example, incurring high costs, a variable speed controller can maintain safe pressures on all floors without PRVs.
The document provides an overview of control valve terminology, types, components, and standards. It defines key terms like hysteresis, dead band, linearity, rangeability, and accuracy. It describes the basic components of a control valve like the body, bonnet, trim, and actuator.

However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

AMIAD SAF-4500 Micro-Strainers Operation
The operation of the strainers is important to understanding how decisions were
made in regards to its ultimate rectification. Below is a brief description on its
intended operation;
1. The AMIAD Micro-Strainers is located in the A-Class building at Aurora STP.
The strainer is situated on the inlet side of the Ultra Filtration (UF) Skids.
Below shows a screen shot of the UF feed system, including strainers;
2. The strainers are designed to filter the B-Class effluent to within 200 microns.
This is ensuring that no large particles enter the inlet of the UF Skids.
3. There are two strainers is parallel that operated simultaneously. At any time
one strainer can be isolated for maintenance purposes.

4. The filtering process is as follows;

5. As suggested in point 4 “The Self-Cleaning Process”. The exhaust valve
opens to expel all the “cake” that is removed by the suction nozzles. In the
case of this particular installation the exhaust valves feature an inline pump
and pressure reducing valve.
This assembly was installed to accommodate the low operating pressures.
Without the pump installed the operating pressure alone would not be able to provide
enough suction to remove an adequate amount of “cake”. Though, with the pump
installed by its self it would provide too much suction and may damage the micron
filter inside.
So the pressure reducing valve is installed to sustain the correct pressure whilst
exhausting.

6. The original controls for the strainers were provided by 2 control panels, one
for each strainer. These operated as a master/slave or duty standby
operation. The control for its operation was via the mode selector located
between the two controllers.
During the operation of either mode a pause function was used to prevent
scanning whilst the UF Skids were not requesting effluent.
This concludes the brief explication of how the AMIAD SAF4500 Micro-Strainer were
intended to operate.

Problem
On Friday the 26th of February 2016 Ventia was engaged by YVW to investigate low
flow alarm on the AMIAD Micro-Strainers Flushing Controller at RTP074. By all
accounts this problem had persisted for many months and its operation was never
fully clear.
The picture below shows the controller that was going into low flow. Every
time the low flow alarm sounds it must be reset locally before the strainers
could be operational.
8. Field Service Report
- 6 -
Cause
The cause of the low flow alarm was a combination of 4 main factor;
1. At low operating pressures the exhaust valves were unable to expel “cake”.
2. The control board for the master strainer was faulty.
3. The pause function was not correctly installed. Allowing the strainers to scan
at any time.
4. The differential pressure switches had failed due to lack of maintenance. This
would override the timed scan function and consecutively run a scan.
Either one of the faults could have cause the low flow alarm.
With the combination of the above faults not only did the flushing operation fail but
the overall straining operations also failed.
The following points will attempt to explain the “cause” & “remedy” as listed above.
Further improvements made on the strainers will then be listed and future
maintenance suggested.

Cause - Low Operating Pressures
The exhaust valves installed were only designed to expel process fluid at a certain
pressure. When air is released from the diaphragm the process fluid must overcome
the piston and seat attached to the diaphragm. See picture below;
Remedy - Low Operating Pressures
The valves were replaced with butterfly actuator valves. This allows effluent to pass
through the valve at any pressure. All the air supply lines were also modified and
now feature isolation for maintenance purposes. See picture below;
10. Field Service Report

Cause – Control Board Failure
The printed circuit board inside the master controller had failed. The auxiliary power
that is supplied to the exhaust valves was not adequate to open them 100% of the
time. Hence giving and intermittent no flow fault on the flushing controller.
The picture below shows the failed transformer that caused the auxiliary power fault;
Remedy – Control Board Failure
After several conversations with AMIAD technical support. It was decided to remove
both controllers as only one is required.
The reason for this is that one controller can accommodate up to four
filters/strainers. The picture below is an exert from the SAF-4500 manual;

The picture below shows the newly installed controller;
By changing the wiring configuration, a single controller was now able to
accommodate both filters/strainers. So by removing the master controller and only
using the slave controller we were able to overcome the broken circuit board.
NOTE: A spare circuit board was ordered in case this happens again.
12. Field Service Report
- 10 -
Cause – Pause Function
The pause function that causes the strainers to stop flashing whilst the UF filters are
not operational, was not wired correctly. This meant that the strainers were flushing
on a timed cycle but did not have sufficient operational pressure (feed pumps were
not running). Hence the flashing controller would go into no flow.
Remedy – Pause Function
When the master and slave controllers were merged into one. The opportunity was
taken to correctly wire the pause function.
The picture below shows what the local controller now displaying when the pause is
active;

Cause – Differential Pressure Switch
The differential pressure switches are located directly on the strainers. They are
designed to measure the differential pressure across the micron filter and force a
flush at a pre-determined pressure (7psi).
Both switches had not been serviced for some time and had failed closed. As a
result the strainers were flushing all the time. The picture below shows the
differential pressure switch;
Remedy – Differential Pressure Switch
Whilst the concept of the pressure switches is necessary. They are very limited in
their functionality. So to increase diagnostics and operational efficiency the
discussion was made install differential pressure transmitters.
These transmitters were installed on both strainers and give real time values of the
differential pressure across the filters. See picture on the next page;
14. Field Service Report

The existing switches were then decommissioned and the transmitters brought
online. Both of these transmitters can now be viewed and managed from CITEC, see
below;
15. Field Service Report
- 13 -
The new differential pressure transmitters no longer immediately induce a flush/scan.
The differential set point and alarm delay is now variable via CITEC and once these
set points are reached it will only request that the operator force a flush/scan. See
below;
The example to the right shows a set point of 0.9
kPa and a time delay of 20 seconds.
If the differential pressure in either strainer exceeds
0.9 kPa for longer than 20 seconds, then and a
“WASH REQUIRED” label will appear.
This will not automatically initiate a flush/scan, this
will need to be done by the operator via the “RUN
REQUEST” button.
Any faults associated with the strainers are now also
shown and can be reset via CITEC. See below;

Maintenance
Whilst the upgrades to the strainers were being performed. They also under went
some general maintenance.
1. The internal micron filters were removed and cleaned. Below is the dirty filter;

Improvements
Regular Maintenance
Upon first impressions of the strainer system it was evident that they have not been
serviced for some time. The overall breakdown of these strainers can directly be
contributed to the lack of maintenance.
The AMIAD SAF-4500 Micro-Strainers are an important part of the A-Class process.
When not properly maintained they can put unnecessary strain on the rest of the
plant.
The most integral part of the strainer is the suction nozzles (#7). If these are not
serviced, the “Cap-SLN” wears down to bear stainless steel. This can then tear the
micron filter which becomes irreparable. A new micron filter is worth over $7000.00.

Inlet Filter
Currently there is no filter before the strainers. There is a course filter of the strainer
but this not very practical for serviceability. See picture below;
An inlet strainer like the “C In-Line” type show below, would be easy to maintain and
access for service. Ideally it would be located between the feed pumps and the
AMIAD SAF-4500. See the link below for more information;

Conclusion
The AMIAD SAF-4500 Micro-Strainer is now fully operational.
Before being upgraded, it had been neglected and was inefficient. By installing more
diagnostics and remote operations the strainers should now operate as intended.
The ability to now see the differential analog value will now enable the operator to
assess the integrity of the micron filter and request serviceability based on real
figures.
It is crucial that these strainers remain properly maintained or it will result in
additional operational costs.
