MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF AEROBIC TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER UNDER CONDITIONS OF DIFFUSION AND MASS TRANSFER PERTURBATIONS

A mathematical model of the process of aerobic treatment of wastewater has been refi ned. It takes into account the interaction of bacteria, as well as of organic and biologically nonoxidizing substances under conditions of diffusion and mass transfer perturbations. An algorithm of the solution of the corresponding nonlinear perturbed problem of convection–diffusion–mass transfer type has been constructed, with a computer experiment carried out based on it. The infl uence of the concentration of oxygen and of activated sludge on the quality of treatment is shown. Within the framework of the model suggested, a possibility of automated control of the process of deposition of impurities in a biological fi lter depending on the initial parameters of the water medium is suggested.
