Abstract:BackgroundThe study intended to detect the inherent deficiencies of prescription‐type empirical design procedures often adopted for nitrogen removal activated sludge systems. Principles of process stoichiometry and kinetics were used to identify a series of hotspots likely to impair and disrupt system performance and efficiency. Available data, derived from an existing plant subject to a similar design approach, were utilized to numerically assess significant hotspots and to define a sustainable remedial actio… Show more
