| Description: | |
| The purpose of this study was to prove to interested auditorium strengths and holes in usage of modelling in activated sludge wastewater treatment. Variety of available models was critically reviewed. Different software packages were examined and respective areas of utilisation recommended. Other way round, kinetic experiments for determination of biomass kinetic and stoichiometric parameters served as the basis for verification of tested models and their modifications towards maximum reliability. All major groups of tests were simulated – denitrification, nitrification, phosphate release and uptake tests. As a special group, respirometry tests were modelled. New or modified models were proposed and good agreement with broad spectrum of test carried out was achieved. | |
