Abstract

Designers and operators of wastewater treatment systems face increasingly stringent requirements for the removal of toxic and other synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs). One method that can be used to meet those requirements is mathematical modeling. This newly published technical report provides techniques for evaluating the results of this modeling. This report also provides a more accurate basis for the model of the fate of SOCs in an activated sludge system, guidance on how to design new activated sludge systems, and performance measures for existing systems. Published by WERF. 306 pages. Soft cover.

Originally funded as WERF project 92-TFT-2.
