Water Science & Technology Vol 52 No 10-11 pp 1–11 © IWA Publishing 2005 Anaerobic digestion: a new model for plant-wide wastewater treatment process modellingJ.B. Copp*, E. Belia**, S. Snowling*** and O. Schraa*****Hydromantis, Inc., 1685 Main St. West, Suite 302, Hamilton, Ontario, L8S 3A4 Canada, (E-mail: copp@hydromantis.com; belia@hydromantis.com; snowling@hydromantis.com; schraa@hydromantis.com) ABSTRACT This paper describes a new anaerobic digestion model for wastewater treatment systems (MantisAD). The model has been developed specifically for plant-wide wastewater treatment modelling. That is, rather than modelling nitrogen as a series of fractions of other carbonaceous state variables, this new model includes six dedicated nitrogen state variables. This structure makes this new anaerobic model easier to incorporate into plant-wide models by simplifying the aerobic/anaerobic model interfaces. The model is complete and initial success with the model has been achieved. A comprehensive description of the model including a Petersen Matrix representation of the model is included as is a case study in which the model is applied to full-scale anaerobic digesters.
