The Development of a Calibration Methodology for a Realistic Primary Settling Tank (PST) Model by Matesun, Joshua

“…With the composition of raw wastewater and primary sludge (PS) known the settled wastewater that leads to the activated sludge (AS) system can be determined using the principles of material mass balance over the PST unit process. This project introduces (i) the modification of the University of Cape Town Primary Sedimentation Unit (UCTPSU) physical process model of Polorigni (2020), by the inclusion of hydrolysis and acid fermentation bio-processes and (ii) calibration of the UCTPSU model through (a) the performance of a sensitivity analysis on the modified UCTPSU model and (b) utilisation of information generated from settleometer tests and augmented bio-methane potential (ABMP) tests to accurately predict the characteristics of PS to AD and settled wastewater to AS systems, hence allow for accurate tracking of elements along the entire WRRF, when using the model for design and optimised operation of WRRF systems. …”
