This paper presents an integrated mathematical model that is capable of predicting and assessing the impact of ultrasonic (US) treatment on the excess activated sludge production in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system. Such a model can be exploited to maximize the excess sludge reduction while minimizing the US operational costs in biological wastewater treatment systems. Biological processes in the reactor are simulated in Matlab®/Simulink by the ASM1 model into which two algebraic equations, which capture the US treatment, are integrated. Validation data series come from a pilot plant installed at two locations, i.e., at a communal wastewater treatment plant and at an industrial production site of a food flavor producing factory in Haasrode both in the Flanders region in Belgium. The results show that the excess sludge reduction from the SBR can be correctly predicted. A reduction of nearly 42% for the communal case study can be reported, while preliminary results for the industrial case study, characterized by a very high organic loading, are even more promising. |
