| Summary: | <p>The primary goal of a drinking water company is to produce safe drinking water
fulfilling the quality standards defined by national and international
guidelines. To ensure the produced drinking water meets the quality
standards, the sampling of the drinking water is carried out on a regular
(almost daily) basis. It is a dilemma that the operator wishes to have a
high probability of detecting a bias while minimizing their measuring effort.
In this paper a seven-step design methodology is described which helps to
determine a water quality (WQ) monitoring scheme. Besides using soft sensors as
surrogate sensors for parameters currently not available online, they can
possibly provide a cost-effective alternative when used to determine
multiple parameters required through one single instrument.</p> |
