Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy Metal Removal Investigation in Conventional Activated Sludge Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the treatment process both in the presence and absence of heavy metals using ASM3 (activated sludge model no.3) so as to improve the model by means of incorporating other novel inhibitory kinetic and settler models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of an activated sludge process with nitrification and denitrification: Start-up simulation and optimization using evolutionary algorithm
Saziye Balku,Ridvan Berber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ASM3 is applied to the modeling of microbiological processes in the aeration tank and a 10-layer settling model is adapted to the settling tank.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between alternating aerobic–anoxic and conventional activated sludge systems
TL;DR: An activated sludge system can be operated as an alternating aerobic-anoxic system so that nitrogen removal is also possible during treatment without any additional investment or operational cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control vector parameterization approach in optimization of alternating aerobic–anoxic systems
TL;DR: An easy‐to‐implement dynamic optimization technique based on sequential quadratic programming method and control vector parameterization approach is provided and gives better results in shorter computation times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of combined cycle efficiency by simulation and optimization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an objective function by defining a new efficiency term for the maximum power production with the minimum exergy destruction which results 23.49% increase in the thermal efficiency and, in the meantime, 23.61% decrease in the exergy destroyed.
