RFID technology for monitoring and control of continuous sand filters

The legislative norms for treated wastewater discharge in terms of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus
(P) concentrations are becoming increasingly stringent in the EU region. Compliance with the
consent values compelled the water authorities to implement moving bed biofilters (MBFs)
for tertiary stage effluent polishing. However, on-site and field surveys reveal that numerous
MBF units suffer from non-optimal operational conditions, logistical challenges and irregular
monitoring.
