Abstract:
Dynamic models were developed using two software packages to evaluate performance of a denitrification filter pilot under variable flow and nitrate loading conditions. Two data periods, including one at constant rate hydraulic loading and one under diurnal flow conditions, were used to calibrate the models. Two additional test periods, one with high nitrate loadings and the second with peak hydraulic loadings and intermittent methanol usage were used to validate the models. The paper presents the results and compares the features of the two models.
