Organic and Nitrogenated Substrates Utilization Rate Model Validating in Sequential Batch Reactor
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 146, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, the validation of models for the organic and nitrogenated substrates utilization rate (SUR) in a sequential batch reactor (SBR) are proposed. The treatments tested are (1) Treatment 1: oxic, cycle duration of 24 h; (2) Treatment 2: oxic, cycle duration of 6 h; (3) Treatment 3: anaerobic-oxic, cycle duration of 24 h; (4) Treatment 4: anaerobic-oxic, cycle duration of 6 h; and (5) Treatment 5: anoxic-oxic-anoxic, cycle duration of 12 h. The novelty consists of the mathematical adjustment for each stage into the proposed treatments for SBR. The SURs of chemical demand oxygen (COD), , and TKN (total Kjeldahl nitrogen) for the Treatments to have given successful in the calibration and validation stages and vary between 75% and 100%, allowing the estimation of these variables into the predenitrification, aeration, conventional, and simultaneous denitrification stages of SBR operation.

Data Availability Statement
The data used by the SUR modeling of organic and nitrogenated matter can be accessed from two sources. The CODs measured in Treatments 1–4 are available in Freytez et al. (2019a, b). The CODs, , and NKT variables of models for Treatment 5 are available in Pire-Sierra et al. (2016). The parameters of models generated during the study appear in the submitted article.
