In situ monitoring for wastewater treatment systems and the like

摘要

Aspects of the invention provide a wastewater treatment monitor and control system 200 comprising a data processor 215, a gas conducting device 310, and a sensor 320. The gas conducting device 310 is submerged and transports a gas. The sensor 320 is connected to the gas conducting device 310, is also submerged, and is operative to determine a characteristic of the gas conducting device or the gas. The sensor 320 is further operative to transmit data representing the characteristic to the data processor 215. In one or more non-limiting embodiments, the system comprises a wastewater treatment system 200, and the gas conducting device comprises a pipe 310 or a diffuser 305.
