Abstract
A methodology for the modelling of wastewater treatment plants by acti vated sludge is proposed. It takes into account the strong coupling be tween hydrodynamics and biological reactions. Hydrodynamical modelling makes use of residence time distributions obtained by tracing the dif ferent units (primary settler, aeration tank and secondary clarifier) with lithium chloride. The biological model is based on IAWPRC Task Gr oup Model 1. Simulated time and space profiles are in good agreement w ith experimental data, taken on an existing full-scale plant.
