Abstract

Wastewater treatment is one of the critical issues facing water utilities and has gained growing attention recently. Wastewater treatment models based on Lawrence & McCarty and Chudoba & Tucek were investigated for the effluent modelling in municipal wastewater treatment. The dataset was derived from a municipal wastewater treatment plant with interest variable for the percentage of biological nutrient removal (BNR). The proposed approach characterized the comprehensive models for biological nutrient removal. First, the activated sludge model-1 (ASM-1), activated sludge model-2 (ASM-2), and activated sludge model-3 (ASM-3) were designed and simulated for the domestic wastewater treatment facility of the Vatika Township. Second, the comparative analysis of effluent quality for ASM-1, ASM-2, and ASM-3 was performed. The study reveals that the effluent quality of wastewater treatment facility was under the discharge/reuses standards of India. Simulation results help to identify optimum BNR efficiency for the provided influent quality.
