dc.descriptionThe feasibility of using models to understand processes, predict and/or simulate, control, monitor and optimize WasteWater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) has been explored by a number of researchers. Mathematical modeling provides a powerful tool for design, operational assistance, forecast future behavior and control. A good model not only elucidates a better understanding of the complicated biological and chemical fundamentals but is also essential for process design, process start-up, dynamics predictions, process control and process optimization. This paper reviews developments and the application of different modeling approaches to wastewater treatment plants, especially activated sludge systems and processes therein in the last decade. In addition, we present an opinion on the wider wastewater treatment related research issues that need to be addressed through modeling.
