Abstract

Many wastewater treatment plants experience failures in the activated sludge process (ASP) due to the discharge of total suspended solids (TSS) in the effluent. Such problems may be remedied without constructing new treatment facilities if modern process control techniques are applied to optimize effluent performance. Control techniques may then be tested by applying experimental data to process simulators. This paper describes a hybrid model which combines deterministic and stochastic models to simulate the behavior of effluents in the ASP.
