Fate of organic compounds in a pilot-scale activated sludge plant : DynTreat model validation study

In many cases organic compounds enter the sewer system and finally appear in municipal activated sludge plants. The processes taking place in these plants (sorption to the sludge, air stripping, surface volatilisation and biodegradation) determine their distribution among the environmental compartments air, water and sludge. A model which predicts this distribution would be a useful element in a general system to assess the environmental concentrations to which the environment will be exposed. For this purpose a new model, called DynTreat was developed.
