The depletion of fresh water sources forces to design innovative integral solutions for the urban water cycle. Usual practice in most cities is to use drinking water to transport waste outside the city via sewer system. For toilet flushing the water quality is less important and seawater could be used as alternative to use of drinking water. Due...

Theoretical and practical aspects of modelling activated sludge processes

This thesis describes the full-scale validation and calibration of a integrated metabolic activated sludge model for biological phosphorus removal. In chapters 1 and 2 the metabolic model is described, in chapters 3 to 6 the model is tested and in chapters 7 and 8 the model is put into practice. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to this...
