This package is an extension of the base Activated Sludge Model no.2d (ASM2d) and implements properties and reactions of an activated sludge model for biological nutrient removal from wastewater using an activated sludge biological reactor with biological phosphorus removal as provided in Flores-Alsina, X. et al. (2016) [1].
Throughout this documentation, text in red has been removed in the Modified ASM2d model, text in lime has been added, and text in blue has been modified from its base ASM2d implementation.
- The following modifications have been made to the base ASM2d model as provided in [1]:
- adds inorganic carbon (S_IC), potassium (S_K), and magnesium (S_Mg) as solutes
- removes total suspended solids (X_TSS), metal-hydroxides (X_MeOH), metal-phosphate (X_MeP), alkalinity (S_ALK), and any variables or parameters associated with alkalinity
- removes the precipitation reaction (R20) and the re-dissolution reaction (R21)
- updates the Petersen matrix based on the above changes
- updates the rate expressions based on the above changes
- This Modified Activated Sludge Model no.2D (ASM2D) property/reaction package:
- supports 'H2O', 'S_A', 'S_F', 'S_I', S_N2, S_NH4, S_NO3, S_O2, S_PO4, S_K, S_Mg, S_IC, X_AUT, X_H, X_I, X_PAO, X_PHA, X_PP, and X_S as components
- supports only liquid phase
