Abstract
In the present study, the temperature effects on the organic carbon and nitrogen removal in an activated sludge process are evaluated. Benchmark Simulation Model No.1 (BSM1) based on activated sludge process is used for all the simulation purposes. A steady state simulation is performed to analyze the effluent concentrations with varying kinetic parameters obtained from different temperature coefficients over a wide range of temperatures from 15 °C to 35 °C. The temperature coefficient ‘a’ is assumed to have different set of values specific to the kinetic parameters, namely, Maximum heterotrophic growth rate
