Abstract: Two mathematical models were used to optimize the performance of a full-scale biological nutrient removal (BNR) activated treatment plant, a plug-fl ow bioreactors operated in a 3-stage phoredox process configuration, anaerobic anoxic oxic (A /O). The ASM2d implemented on the platform of WEST2011 software and the BioWin activated sludge/anaerobic digestion (AS/AD) models were used in this study with the aim of consistently achieving the designed effl uent criteria at a low operational cost. Four ASM2d parameters (the reduction factor for denitrifi cation ( η2), the maximum growth rate of heterotrophs (μH), the rate constant for stored polyphosphates in PAOs (qNOpp3, H), and the hydrolysis rate constant ( k) were adjusted. Whereas three BioWin parameters (aerobic decay rate ( b ), heterotrophic dissolved oxygen (DO) half saturation ( KOA ), and YPH /acetic) were adjusted. Calibration of the two models was successful; both models have average relative deviations (ARD) less than 10% for all the output variables. Low effluent concentrations of nitrate nitrogen (N-NO), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were achieved in a full-scale BNR treatment plant having low infl uent chemical oxygen demand (COD) to total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) ratio (COD/TKN). The effl uent total nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen concentrations were improved by 50% and energy consumption was reduced by approximately 25%, which was accomplished by converting the two-pass aerobic compartment of the plug-fl ow bioreactor to anoxic reactors and being operated in an alternating mode. Findings in this work are helpful in improving the operation of wastewater treatment plant while eliminating the cost of external carbon source and reducing energy consumption.
