The Benchmark Simulation Model No 2 (BSM2) expands wastewater treatment plant simulation beyond activated sludge to the whole plant, including anaerobic digestion. This new model facilitates evaluating integrated control strategies for improved plant performance.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Process Control
  • Wastewater Treatment

Background:

  • The Benchmark Simulation Model No 1 (BSM1) enabled performance evaluation of control strategies for activated sludge wastewater treatment plants.
  • Previous models focused solely on the activated sludge unit, limiting whole-plant control strategy assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Benchmark Simulation Model No 2 (BSM2) for whole-plant simulation of wastewater treatment processes.
  • Enable objective evaluation of control strategies at the entire plant level, including primary clarification and anaerobic sludge digestion.

Main Methods:

  • Developed BSM2 by integrating models for primary clarifier, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion (ADM1), and reject water storage.
  • Addressed model interfaces, temperature dependencies, and ensured consistent implementation across simulation platforms via a ring test.

Main Results:

  • BSM2 implementations are available on multiple simulation platforms, validated through a ring test.
  • Evaluation of twelve operational strategies demonstrated the potential for performance improvement through integrated control.

Conclusions:

  • BSM2 provides a standardized platform for evaluating whole-plant control strategies in wastewater treatment.
  • Integrated control strategies offer significant potential for enhancing overall plant performance and efficiency.
