Modelling and simulation of energy-saving potential of Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) in the abatement of ammoniacal-nitrogen and organics

The ammonical nitrogen removal in discharged effluents from a typical sewerage treatment plant has not been consistent with the stringent discharge standards. There is the need to optimize the energy consumption as well as improve the ammonical nitrogen removal in the treatment plant. This study...
