The use of fossil fuels, emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere, and
waste pose a problem to the environment and public health that urgently needs to be dealt …

Wastewater characterization is now regarded as an indispensable step yielding all the
necessary information for a reliable modelling and design of biological treatment processes …

Written by experts in the field, this thoroughly updated third edition covers commonly used
and emerging suspended and attached growth reactors. Drawing on their extensive …

The high-rate activated sludge (HRAS) process is a technology suitable for the removal and
redirection of organics from wastewater to energy generating processes in an efficient …

Mathematical modelling of activated sludge systems is used widely for plant design,
optimisation, training, controller design and research. The quality of simulation studies …

In high-rate activated sludge (HRAS) processes, reducing the solid retention time (SRT)
minimizes COD oxidation and allows to obtain the maximum energy recovery. The aim of …

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Korea collect and treat not only domestic
wastewater, but also discharge from industrial complexes. However, some industrial …

In this paper experiences and results are presented with guidelines for wastewater
characterisation that are standardised in the Netherlands for modelling purposes with ASM …

The development of a general model for biological nutrient removal in activated sludge
systems is discussed. The general model is a mechanistic model based on the International …

A series of pilot-scale studies were performed to compare conventional high-rate activated
sludge systems (HRAS)(continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and plug flow (PF) reactor …
