Research and improvement of detection method of wastewater characteristic parameters in activated sludge model

The activated sludge model is widely used in design and operation of wastewater treatment plants. However, there is no normative detection method of wastewater characteristic parameters which may be a barrier of ASM model´s application. In this paper, the methods of measuring and calculating the characteristic parameters of wastewater in ASM1 were analyzed and selected for an application case. Based on the experimental results, some adjustments were suggested for improving those detection methods.
