The application of the GPS-X computer simulation of sewage works to a
55 Ml/d dry weather flow (dwf) nitrifying activated sludge plant (ASP)
is described. The role of simulation and the features of a simulation
package as required by the end usa am outlined. The plant processes,
operation, performance and the instrumentation are described. The on-
line measurements are collected and displayed by the GFX monitoring sy
stem which acts as input/output stage for GPS-X. The simulation packag
e uses the IAWPRC model with modifications based on Dold (1990). The f
eatures of the model, its calibration and successful verification are
described.
