Optimum Model

The step feed model based on the Activated Sludge Model No.1 (ASM1) and the optimum model of the ammonia nitrogen (SNH) removal in wastewater were established. Four aeration tanks under the different step feed ratios were simulated by Matlab Simulink. The results show that single-feeding is conducive to the removal of readily biodegradable substrate (SS) and the growth of heterotrophic organisms (XBH), and to lower the biodegradable substrate (XS) at the same time. The SS, XS, and SNH concentrations are 1.36, 5.98, and 3.02 mg/L respectively in effluent. However, the step-feeding is conducive to the SNH removal, and the autotrophic bacteria (XBA) growth. Under the step feed ratio (25/25/25/25%), the SS, XS, and SNH concentrations are 2.64, 10.79, and 2.61 mg/L respectively. Under the optimum ratio (28.7/23.6/20.4/27.2%), step-feeding could further facilitate the removal of SNH and hinder the removal of organic matter, their concentrations are 2.70, 10.98, and 2.47 mg/L respectively.

Physiological Properties

The physiological properties of filamentous and floc-forming microorganisms found in activated sludge are reviewed. From this review four model microorganisms - two floc formers and two filamentous organisms - are proposed for use in an activated sludge model that predicts activated sludge “quality”.

Activated Sludge Model

The wastewater of the municipal treatment plants Zürich-Werdhölzli (350000 population equivalents), Zürich-Glatt (110000), and Wattwil (20000) have been characterized with regard to the activated sludge model Nr.1 of the IAWPRC task group. Zürich-Glatt and Wattwil are partly nitrifying treatment plants and Zürich-Werdhölzli is fully nitrifying. The mixing characteristics of the aeration tanks at Werdhölzli and Glatt were determined with sodium bromide as a tracer. The experimental data were used to calibrate hydrolysis, heterotrophic growth and nitrification. Problems arising by calibrating hydrolysis of the paniculate material and by measuring oxygen consumption of heterotrophic and nitrifying microorganisms are discussed. For hydrolysis the experimental data indicate first-order kinetics. For nitrification a maximum growth rate of 0.40±0.07 d−1, corresponding to an observed growth rate of 0.26±0.04 d−1 was calculated at 10°C. The half velocity constant found for 12 and 20°C was 2 mg NH4-N/l. The calibrated model was verified with experimental dam of me Zürich-Werdhölzli treatment plant during ammonia shock load.

Calibration Algorithm

A model calibration algorithm is developed for the high-purity oxygen activated sludge process (HPO-ASP). The algorithm is evaluated under different conditions to determine the effect of the following factors on the performance of the algorithm: data quality, number of observations, and number of parameters to be estimated. The process model used in this investigation is the first HPO-ASP model based upon the IAWQ (formerly IAWPRC) Activated Sludge Model No. 1. The objective function is formulated as a relative least-squares function and the non-linear, constrained minimization problem is solved by the Complex method. The stoichiometric and kinetic coefficients of the IAWQ activated sludge model are the parameters focused on in this investigation. Observations used are generated numerically but are made close to the observations from a full-scale high-purity oxygen treatment plant. The calibration algorithm is capable of correctly estimating model parameters even if the observations are severely noise-corrupted. The accuracy of estimation deteriorates gradually with the increase of observation errors. The accuracy of calibration improves when the number of observations (n) increases, but the improvement becomes insignificant when n>96. It is also found that there exists an optimal number of parameters that can be rigorously estimated from a given set of information/data. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine what parameters to estimate and to evaluate the potential benefits resulted from collecting additional measurements.
