The biodegradation of particulate substrates starts by a hydrolytic stage. Hydrolysis is a slow reaction and usually becomes the rate limiting step of the organic substrates biodegradation. The objective of this work was to evaluate a novel hydrolysis concept based on a modification of the activated sludge model (ASM2d) and to compare it with the original ASM2d model. The hydrolysis concept was developed in order to accurately predict the use of internal carbon sources in enhanced biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes at a full scale facility located in northern Poland. Both hydrolysis concepts were compared based on the accuracy of their predictions for the main processes taking place at a full-scale facility. From the comparison, it was observed that the modified ASM2d model presented similar predictions to those of the original ASM2d model on the behavior of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH₄-N, NO₃-N, and PO₄-P. However, the modified model proposed in this work yield better predictions of the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) (up to 5.6 and 5.7%) as well as in the phosphate release and uptake rates.

The treatment of wastewater is highly challenging due to large fluctuations in flowrates, pollutants, and variable influent water compositions. A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and modified SBR cycle-step-feed process (SSBR) configuration are studied in this work to effectively treat municipal wastewater while simultaneously removing nitrogen and phosphorus. To control the amount of dissolved oxygen in an SBR, three axiomatic control strategies (proportional integral (PI), fractional proportional integral (FPI), and fuzzy logic controllers) are presented.

The discovery of comammox Nitrospira, a complete ammonia-oxidizing microorganism belonging to the genus Nitrospira, has brought new insights into the nitrification process in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The applicability of Activated Sludge Model No. 2 d with one-step nitrification (ASM2d-OSN) or two-step nitrification (ASM2d-TSN) for the simulation of the biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes of a full-scale WWTP in the presence of comammox Nitrospira was studied.

An extended activated sludge model (E-ASM2d) was established by including the metabolic processes of double-layer extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs) into the existing ASM2d model for describing and predicting the metabolic processes of the side-stream phosphorus (P) recovery reactor. A sensitivity analysis of model parameters on S(soluble phosphate), X (loosely-bound EPS), X (tightly-bound EPS), COD, and S (soluble ammonia nitrogen) outputs was conducted for identifying influential parameters. The predicted effluent values of COD, ammonia nitrogen (NH), and P corresponded well with actual measured values and all the model performance coefficient values for COD, NH and P were higher than 0.

In order to deeply investigate the influences of side-stream phosphorus (P) recovery operation on mainstream biological P removal system, an improved activated sludge model no. 2 (ASM2d) was established to illuminate the metabolic processes of P in a side-stream P recovery reactor. The improved ASM2d (named D-EPS-ASM2d) was established by extending of the P metabolic processes of double-layer extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) into conventional ASM2d model.
