PROJECT NARRATIVE

After reviewing a proposed expansion to the Sand Hill Road Water Reclamation Facility, BioChem Technology, Inc. recommended that a BIOS be installed as part of the new process to provide control of the dissolved oxygen and internal recycle systems. The BIOS automatically detects if the process is running in a MLE or AOAO configuration and adjusts its optimization algorithm to match the current process set-up, ensuring that treatment goals are met, irregardless of the current conditions.
