Abstract
A method of regulating aeration in biological treatment of wastewater by implementing a step of eliminating carbon in aerobiosis, a step of nitrification in aerobiosis, and a step of denitrification in an anoxia, in which method the oxidation-reduction potential is continuously measured in a treatment system, a curve is established of variation in oxidation-reduction potential as a function of time, and the derivative thereof is calculated, wherein, when the derivative tends towards zero, the derivative and the value of the oxidation-reduction potential are correlated to determine whether aeration should be started, continued, or stopped.
