Method for treating wastewater

A variable process for treating wastewater, comprising:

• receiving a flow of wastewater in a first operational area;
• determining the volume of the wastewater received in the first operational area;
• and
• when the volume of the wastewater in the first operational area is at least equal to a default transfer volume, then transferring a batch of the wastewater having a volume equal to the volume of the wastewater in the first operational area from the first operational area to a second operational area for treatment.

A variable process for treating wastewater, comprising:

• monitoring the volume of the wastewater received in a first operational area over a period of time;
• determining a transfer volume based on the volume of the wastewater received in the first operational area over the period of time;
• determining a transfer time based on when the volume of the wastewater is received in the first operational area over the period of time;
• and
• if the volume of the wastewater in the first operational area is at least equal to the transfer volume at the transfer time, then transferring a batch of the wastewater having a volume equal to the transfer volume from the first operational area to a second operational area for treatment.

• aerating the batch of wastewater transferred to the second operational area for a predetermined amount of time based on the volume of the batch of wastewater and the population of microorganisms in the second operational area;
• clarifying the batch of wastewater transferred to the second operational area for a predetermined amount of time based on the population of microorganisms in the second operational area;
• and
• dispersing the treated batch of wastewater from the second operational area.

• if the volume of the wastewater in the second operational area is at least equal to the transfer volume at the transfer time, then transferring a batch of the wastewater having a volume equal to the transfer volume from the second operational area to a third operational area, wherein the third operational area includes a population of microorganisms;
• determining the population of microorganisms in the third operational area;
• aerating the batch of wastewater transferred to the third operational area for an amount of time based on the volume of the batch of wastewater and the population of microorganisms;
• clarifying the batch of wastewater for an amount of time based on the population of microorganisms;
• and
• transferring the treated batch of wastewater from the third operational area for dispersal.
