Popis: Mathematical modeling of the biotechnology for the removal of ammonium nitrogen from wastewater based on the anammox process was performed with the specialized BioWin software suite (EnviroSim Associates Ltd., Canada). Nitrogen removal by means of the transformation of ammonium nitrogen to molecular nitrogen was conducted in a continuous stirred bioreactor carrying both suspended and immobilized activated sludge. Both basic values of the kinetic and stoichiometric coefficients are incorporated in the BioWin software, and those that changed based on the results of the experimental studies were used for the calculations. The optimal temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration revealed by mathematical modeling were 35°C and 0.14 mg/L. The results obtained from calculations were similar to those obtained in the experiments. The calculated and experimental concentrations of ammonium, nitrites, and nitrates in the treated water were similar and comprised 10.7 and 11.7% of the initial concentration entering the bioreactor, respectively. The selected mathematical model possessed a high predictive ability for the calculation of biotechnologies based on the anammox process
