Optimization of a Sequencing Batch Reactor process for waste water treatment using a two step nitrification model Book uri icon

abstract

  • In this work, Model Based Optimization (MBO) of Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) for Waste Water Treatment (WWT) with Activated Sludge Process (ASP) is presented. The importance of considering the nitrate bypass nitrification denitrification process as well as the nonlinear behavior of the process is presented. Moreover the optimization results, solving a nonlinear problem with an SQP algorithm and using a reduced 8 state model for the simulation of the process, are exposed. Accordingly, important improvements in operation strategies can be achieved in SBR process through model based optimization. In addition it be shown that the consideration of the nitratae bypass process is crucial when optimizing WWT plants. 2011 Elsevier B.V.
