| description | The potential of an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) bioreactor for developing simultaneous aerobic and anoxic micro-zones under continuous aeration regime to promote carbon and nitrogen removal from Faraman industrial estate wastewater was evaluated in the present research. The effects of three independent variables on carbon and nitrogen removal were assessed. Overall, the optimum condition with 94 %, 77 %, and 2 NTU of COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal, Total nitrogen (TN) removal, and effluent turbidity has been specified with hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 11 h, air flow rate (AFR) of 3.5 L/min, and filling ratio (FR) of 50 %. To assess the stability of treating processes in the system, the IFAS system was operated in this optimal condition. Moreover, the simulation of the bioreactor was accomplished via calibration and verification of GPS-X model. GPSX simulation results and experimental data were compared using an independent sample T-test, which the T-test result confirmed that there was no significant difference between them. |
