Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical modelling of activated sludge systems is used widely for plant design, optimisation, training, controller design and research. The quality of simulation studies varies depending on the project objectives, finances and expertise available. Consideration has to be given to the model accuracy and the amount of time required carrying out a simulation study to produce the desired accuracy. Inconsistent approaches and insufficient documentation make quality assessment and comparison of simulation results difficult or almost impossible. A general framework for the application of activated sludge models is needed in order to overcome these obstacles. The genesis of the Good Modelling Practice (GMP) Task Group lies in a workshop held at the 4th IWA World Water Congress in Marrakech, Morocco where members of research groups active in wastewater treatment modelling came together to develop plans to synthesize the best practices of modellers from all over the world. The most cited protocols were included in the work, amongst others from: HSG (Hochschulgruppe), STOWA, BIOMATH and WERF. The goal of the group is to set up an internationally accepted framework to deal with the ASM type models in practice. This framework shall make modelling more straightforward and systematic to use especially for practitioners and consultants. Additionally, it shall help to define quality levels for simulation results, a procedure to assess this quality and to assist in the proper use of the models. The framework will describe a methodology for goal-oriented application of activated sludge models demonstrated by means of a concise guideline about the procedure of a simulation study and some illustrative case studies. The case studies shall give examples for the required data quality and quantity and the effort for calibration/validation with respect to a defined goal. The final report will include an extended appendix with additional information and details of methodologies. Additional features in Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models include a chapter on modelling industrial wastewater, an overview on the history, current practice and future of activated sludge modelling and several explanatory case studies. It can be used as an introductory book to learn about Good Modelling Practice (GMP) in activated sludge modelling and will be of special interest for process engineers who have no prior knowledge of modelling or for lecturers who need a textbook for their students. The STR can also be used as a modelling reference book and includes an extended appendix with additional information and details of methodologies. Scientific and Technical Report No. 22

Book excerpt: In 1982 the International Association on Water Pollution Research and Control (IAWPRC), as it was then called, established a Task Group on Mathematical Modelling for Design and Operation of Activated Sludge Processes. The aim of the Task Group was to create a common platform that could be used for the future development of models for COD and N removal with a minimum of complexity. As the collaborative result of the work of several modelling groups, the Activated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM1) was published in 1987, exactly 25 years ago. The ASM1 can be considered as the reference model, since this model triggered the general acceptance of wastewater treatment modelling, first in the research community and later on also in practice. ASM1 has become a reference for many scientific and practical projects, and has been implemented (in some cases with modifications) in most of the commercial software available for modelling and simulation of plants for N removal. The models have grown more complex over the years, from ASM1, including N removal processes, to ASM2 (and its variations) including P removal processes, and ASM3 that corrects the deficiencies of ASM1 and is based on a metabolic approach to modelling. So far, ASM1 is the most widely applied. Applications of Activated Sludge Models has been prepared in celebration of 25 years of ASM1 and in tribute to the activated sludge modelling pioneer, the late Professor G.v.R. Marrais. It consists of a dozen of practical applications for ASM models to model development, plant optimization, extension, upgrade, retrofit and troubleshooting, carried out by the members of the Delft modelling group over the last two decades.

This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation of Activated Sludge Systems – Second Edition provides, from the process engineering perspective, a comprehensive and up-to-date overview regarding various aspects of the mechanistic (“white box”) modelling and simulation of advanced activated sludge systems performing biological nutrient removal. In the new edition of the book, a special focus is given to nitrogen removal and the latest developments in modelling the innovative nitrogen removal processes. Furthermore, a new section on micropollutant removal has been added. The focus of modelling has been shifting in the last years to models that can describe the performance of a whole plant (plant-wide modelling). The expanded part of this new edition introduces models describing the most important processes interrelated with the mainstream activated sludge systems as well as models describing the energy balance, operating costs and environmental impact. The complex process evaluation, including minimization of energy consumption and carbon footprint, is in line with the present and future wastewater treatment goals. By combining a general introduction and a textbook, this book serves both intermediate and more experienced model users, both researchers and practitioners, as a comprehensive guide to modelling and simulation studies. The book can be used as a supplemental material at graduate and post-graduate levels of wastewater engineering/modelling courses.

This book was released on 2002-05-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of models in activated sludge design and operation is increasing, with a similar trend seen in education. Starting with the original IAWPRC Activated Sludge Model no 1 (ASM1) and the subsequent ASM2 and ASM2D, the first generation of activated sludge models have played an important role in practice. With the development of the latest IWA Activated Sludge Model no 3 further progress has been made, and given the concurrent development of new methods for characterization of biomass and wastewater, this is a field of vigorous activity at present. The fifth Kollekolle Seminar brought together many of the world's leading experts on the activated sludge process, who have been working with activated sludge models in practice and research. The aim, as with previous seminars was to present the latest research findings, putting them into the proper perspective. From this high-quality programme 22 papers have been selected and revised to provide the best collection of papers on the state of the art of activated sludge modeling. Papers cover the following topics: modeling developments; wastewater and biomass characterization and parameter identification; modeling in practices.

Download or read book Uncertainty Management in the Activated Sludge Process written by Abdelaziz Guergachi and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, the foundations of a new area of research regarding mathematical modelling of biological wastewater treatment (WWT) processes are set. The main feature of this area is the introduction of innovative concepts and tools from emerging information modelling technologies into the traditional field of WWT process modelling. The model identification procedure is viewed as a learning problem or, equivalently, an information transfer from a set of real data into the process model. An innovative mathematical framework for the identification and validation of dynamic mechanistically based WWT process models is developed. Within this framework, a relationship between the model identification procedure and the computational machine learning methodology is established at the foundational level. The deviation D between model prediction and the real process behaviour is characterized mathematically in terms of some simple variables that govern model performance--namely: (1) the size of the data set used for model identification; (2) the quality of these data; (3) the model complexity; (4) the empirical measure of D computed on the basis of the foregoing data set. The development of the relationship between D and these variables is based on a principle called " Inductive Principle of Empirical Risk Minimization" ( IPERM ). The conditions of applicability of IPERM are thoroughly examined in the case of the activated sludge process being described by a simple mechanistic model denoted M . The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension of this model is estimated and two uncertainty models are developed for the activated sludge process (ASP). These two uncertainty models are compared and the differences between them accounted for. The following result is established: empirical data cannot compensate for our limited knowledge of process mechanisms, even if an infinite amount of data and computing power are made available during the model identification procedure. Measures of process model maximal and marginal improvements are developed. It is established that 80% of the model ( M ) maximal improvement occurs at a number of data points of about N80% 15 to 18. To achieve the other 20%, N has to be increased from the relatively small number N 80% to infinity. Procedures for computing the marginal cost of process model improvement and the guaranteed prediction accuracy of the identified model are developed. A new approach to modelling the activated sludge process itself and dealing with the almost-infinite degree of complexity of the ASP behaviour is developed. The basic idea of this approach is to construct an infinite series NS of nested mechanistic models of increasing complexity. This nested series is developed using the multi-substrate hypothesis. Both the Monod and the Tiessier models are considered in developing this nested series. Another principle called "Inductive Principle of Structural Risk Minimization" ( IPSRM ) is introduced and implemented to determine the optimal model structure complexity, for a fixed and small number N of data points. Computer simulations are carried out to confirm the theory and illustrate the use of the IPSRM and that of the nested series NS of ASP models.

This book was released on 2004-11-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical modeling is a useful tool for the design, analysis and control of wastewater treatment systems. The activated sludge process is one of the most common processes used in wastewater treatment, and therefore is a particularly important candidate for the application of mathematical models. In the 1980s, a task group organized by the International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ) developed a conceptual model of the activated sludge process, which has become an industry-wide standard for the development of computer-based activated sludge models. A recent version of the IAWQ model incorporates 19 components, 17 processes, and numerous rate and stoichiometric coefficients. It is difficult and costly to quantify all of the necessary coefficients for any given application of the model; consequently, it is important to identify the most critical wastewater and biomass components and the relevant coefficients to be quantified for the most common uses of the model. It is also important to provide guidance to potential model users on the use of default and/or estimated values for the remaining parameters.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon sources are considered as one of the most important factors in the performance of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Disintegrated sludge (DS) can act as carbon source to increase the efficiency of EBPR. This research explores the influence of DS upon phosphorus removal efficiency using mathematical simulation modeling. Activated Sludge Model No. 2d (ASM2d) is one of the most useful of activated sludge (AS) models. This is because ASM2d can express the integrated mechanisms of phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) under aerobic, anaerobic and anoxic conditions. Cont/d.

Download or read book MODELING OF ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS BY USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS. written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current activated sludge models are deterministic in character and are constructed by basing on the fundamental biokinetics. However, calibrating these models are extremely time consuming and laborious. An easy-to-calibrate and user friendly computer model, one of the artificial intelligence techniques, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were used in this study. These models can be used not only directly as a substitute for deterministic models but also can be plugged into the system as error predictors. Three systems were modeled by using ANN models. Initially, a hypothetical wastewater treatment plant constructed in Simulation of Single-Sludge Processes for Carbon Oxidation, Nitrification & Denitrification (SSSP) program, which is an implementation of Activated Sludge Model No 1 (ASM1), was used as the source of input and output data. The other systems were actual treatment plants, Ankara Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, ACWTP and Ýskenderun Wastewater Treatment Plant (IskWTP). A sensitivity analysis was applied for the hypothetical plant for both of the model simulation results obtained by the SSSP program and the developed ANN model. Sensitivity tests carried out by comparing the responses of the two models indicated parallel sensitivities. In hypothetical WWTP modeling, the highest correlation coefficient obtained with ANN model versus SSSP was about 0.980. By using actual data from IskWTP the best fit obtained by the ANN model yielded R value of 0.795 can be considered very high with such a noisy data. Similarly, ACWTP the R value obtained was 0.688, where accuracy of fit is debatable.

Download or read book Single and Two-Phase Flows on Chemical and Biomedical Engineering written by Ricardo Dias and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single and two-phase flows are ubiquitous in most natural process and engineering systems. Examples of systems or process include, packed bed reactors, either single phase or multiphase, absorber and adsorber separation columns, filter beds, plate heat exchangers, flow of viscoelastic fluids in polymer systems, or the enhanced recovery of oil, among others. In each case the flow plays a central role in determining the system or process behavior and performance. A better understanding of the underlying physical phenomena and the ability to describe the phenomena properly are both crucial to improving design, operation and control processes involving the flow of fluids, ensuring that they will be more efficient and cost effective. Expanding disciplines such as microfluidics and the simulation of complex flow physical systems, such as blood flow in physiological networks, also rely heavily on accurate predictions of fluid flow. Recent advances either in computational and experimental techniques are improving the existing knowledge of single and multiphase flows in engineering and physical systems of interest. This ebook is a review on the state-of-the-art and recent advances in critical areas of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena with respect to chemical and biomedical engineering applications.
