MATLAB based graphical interface simulator for wastewater treatment plant control by using the benchmark BSM1

This paper presents the development of a graphical interface to easy the task of simulating control systems for wastewater treatment systems. The BSM1 (Benchmark Simulation System #1) is adopted as the framework, because its wide international acceptance. The interaction with BSM1 is not easy. Therefore a simulation tool like the one presented here, will help the experimentation and learning of both: application of control approaches, as well as, the complexity of a biological system.
