This chapter describes and analyzes the application of ADEX COP v.1 to the optimized adaptive control of the biological process of a wastewater treatment plant. Since this process has a multivariable dynamic with significant nonlinearity, time varying interactions and subject to severe, largely non-measurable perturbations, it was considered suitable for evaluating the capability of the new technology in an industrial environment. It illustrates the use of ADEX controllers for the definition of an optimized control strategy, the communication between ADEX COP v.1 and the plant control system, and the configuration of the structure variables for each of the controllers taking into account the guidelines set out in the previous chapter. The results obtained are analyzed from the perspective of the control strategy applied. This application was carried out in 2001 in the wastewater treatment plant of Casaquemada of Canal Isabel II, San Fernando de Henares, Madrid.
