We measure flow and TOC (also NH3 but this is never an issue in the eq basin) from the eq going to the aeration basin and TSS and NH3 inside the aeration basin, but it seems that we are always behind in our decisions.

Many times we have to bypass the equalization to try to "reactivate" the biological mass faster, and that's when the risk of shocks to the biomass becomes higher, and if they do happen is 2 months to recover..

Anybody could help with this problem? What we should be measuring, or trying to control to ensure that the biomass is being fed at the adequate rate and how could be have better information about potential upsets on the Food to Mass load?

  Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
