17. Control of Nitrogen Removal in Activated Sludge Processes
Abstract : More stringent requirements on nitrogen removal from wastewater are the motivation for this thesis. In order to improve treatment results and enhance cost-efficient operation of wastewater treatment plants, model based control strategies are presented. A Java based simulator for activated sludge processes (JASS) is presented. READ MORE

20. Optimization methods for sedimentation and denitrification in activated sludge
Abstract : Denitrification on readily biodegradable carbon compounds and separation of biological sludge from effluent water are examples of critical sub-processes for nitrogen removal in activated sludge. The aim of this thesis was to find operational strategies and newmethods to optimize these processes. READ MORE
