Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Biochemical Engineering
  • Water Treatment Technologies

Background:

  • Waste stabilization ponds are crucial for wastewater treatment.
  • Understanding pond dynamics is essential for optimizing performance.
  • Previous models often lack detailed biochemical reaction networks and multi-layer considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a dynamical model for waste stabilization ponds.
  • To identify key model parameters using real-world data.
  • To investigate the influence of microorganism populations and environmental factors on pond function.

Main Methods:

  • A dynamical model based on mass balances and a reaction network of eight biochemical reactions.
  • Incorporation of two distinct pond layers (upper and lower) with different microorganism populations.
