Advanced Activated Sludge Models (ASMs)

To create a common platform for future carbon and

nutrient removal activated sludge processes.

History:

The first model, Activated Sludge Model No: 1 (ASM 1), was

published in 1987 with carbon/nitrogen removal.

In 1995, Activated Sludge Model No: 2 (ASM 2) was

published with biological phosphorous removal.

In 1998, ASM3 was published with bacterial internal storage

compounds.

Problem Definition

ASMs have not been tested against a large variety of

Studies focused on modeling of wastewater

processes, rather than sludge digestion.

Some parameters are correlated, individually non-

identifiable.

The majority of parameters can not be

experimentally measured.

Practitioners need parameter identification for

model calibration purposes.

Research Objectives

To investigate:

Performance of ASMs for aerobic sludge digestion

under different flow regimes.

Kinetic & stoichiometric parameters for batch

and semi-continuous flow runs.

Most sensitive model parameters.

If kinetic parameters determined from batch could

predict semi-continuous flow digester performances at

different operating conditions, i.e. retention time.

Model Assumptions

DO > 2 mg/L

Anoxic growth of heterotrophic

biomass is not applicable and

So/(KOH+So) ≈ 1

Both ASM1and ASM3 predicted COD and VSS concentrations

successfully.

ASM3 parameters were more consistent throughout the runs.

ASM1 overestimated COD & VSS after15 d during validation.

Batch kinetic coefficients can successfully simulate continuous-

flow aerobic digesters.

Future work:

Validating semi-continuous results with independent data set.

Checking the performance of ASMs on industrial WAS.

Checking the performance of ASMs on a full-scale WWTP.
