The identification and estimation of discrete-time models of BOD-DO (Biochemical Oxygen Demand-Dissolved Oxygen) in river systems is considered using a multivariable extension of the instrumental variable approximate maximum likelihood techniques of time series analysis. The dynamic water quality models relate water quality at specific points on the river and are used in a design study to evalu...

Phytoremediat ion techniques for the treatment of different types of wastewater have been used by several researchers. These techniques are reported to be cost effective compared to other methods. Various contaminants like total suspended solids, dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, hardness, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, heavy...

many constants and coefficient effect on the modeling results. in many cases, it is possible these constants and coefficients differ from their real values in the environment, but the modeling results adapted with real boundary conditions due to other factors adjustment during modeling. uncertainty analysis is a tool for assessing the effect of uncertainty of various factors on the modeling res...

The aim of this research was to show the impact of the flow conditions and variations in the aeration intensity on changes in the predicted dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in a full-scale activated sludge reactor. The Activated Sludge Model No. 1 was used to describe the biochemical processes. The studies were performed at the Rock Creek wastewater treatment plant in Hillsboro, OR (USA). T...
