The role of instrumentation, control, and automation (ICA) in the management, operation, and control of domestic and industrial wastewater treatment works is examined following an historical account of developments in the UK over the past two decades. Included also are aspects of process optimization and process selection, taking into account size and types of works and populations served. The particular ICA requirements of individual unit processes are examined and the effects of unattended operation and remote supervision are considered. Particular attention is paid to measurement technology, the shortcomings of available instruments and systems, and recent developments of relevance, with particular emphasis being placed on microelectronic and fibre- and electro-optic-based sensors and on the role of advanced commenting methods including expert systems. Progress with biologically based sensors is also discussed.
在回顾了英国过去二十年的发展历程后，本文探讨了仪器仪表、控制与自动化（ICA）在生活和工业污水处理厂的管理、运营及控制中的作用。同时还考虑了工艺优化和工艺选择等方面，其中涉及处理厂的规模、类型以及所服务的人口数量。文中研究了各个单元工艺对ICA的具体要求，并考量了无人值守运行和远程监控的影响。特别关注了测量技术、现有仪器和系统的不足之处以及近期的相关进展，尤其着重于基于微电子、光纤和电光的传感器，以及包括专家系统在内的先进注释方法的作用。此外，还讨论了基于生物的传感器的进展情况。
