Nowadays, one of the major challenges in the wastewater sector is the successful design
and reliable operation of treatment processes, which guarantee high treatment efficiencies …

This paper makes a critical review of the available techniques for analysing, completing and
generating influent data for WWTP modelling. The solutions found in literature are classified …

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

The production of waste from human activities is unavoidable. A significant part of this waste
will end up as wastewater. The quantity and quality of wastewater is determined by many …

Traditional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are increasingly regarded as water
resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), reflecting the value of water, nutrients, energy and …

Abstract Activated Sludge Models are widely used for simulation-based evaluation of
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) performance. However, due to the high workload and …

Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation of Activated Sludge Systems–Second
Edition provides, from the process engineering perspective, a comprehensive and up-to …

Modelling activated sludge systems has gained an increasing momentum after the
introduction of activated sludge models (ASMs) in 1987. Application of dynamic models for …

Data scarcity can be considered as the main limitation for a more widespread utilization of
mathematical models in the design, optimization and control of biological nutrient removal …

This paper presents the mathematical basis and some illustrative examples of a model-
based decision-making method for the automatic calculation of optimum design parameters …
