Control periods when plants are unmanned

Many water treatment plants still use manual control for coagulant dosing (usually alum or ferric). Whilst the raw water quality is steady this is an effective method to set a coagulant dose, however, when the raw water changes then manual control of the coagulant dose breaks down, particularly when plants are unmanned overnight or over…
