Key developments of instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) applications in wastewater systems during the past 40 years are highlighted in this paper. From the first ICA conference in 1973 through to today there has been a tremendous increase in the understanding of the processes, instrumentation, computer systems and control theory. However, many developments have not been addressed here, such as sewer control, drinking water treatment and water distribution control. It is hoped that this review can stimulate new attempts to more effectively apply control and automation in water systems in the coming years.
本文重点介绍了过去 40 年来仪器仪表、控制和自动化 (ICA) 在废水处理系统中的主要发展。从 1973 年第一届 ICA 会议到今天，人们对工艺、仪器仪表、计算机系统和控制理论的认识有了巨大的提高。然而，这里没有涉及许多发展，例如污水控制、饮用水处理和水分配控制。希望本综述能够激发新的尝试，在未来几年更有效地将控制和自动化应用于水系统。
