摘要
A dynamic model for an activated sludge process is proposed to investigate the stability and bifurcation characteristics of this industrially important unit. The model is structured upon two processes: an intermediate particulate product formation and active biomass synthesis processes. The growth kinetics expressions are based on substrate inhibition and noncompetitive inhibition of the intermediate product. The bifurcation analysis of the process model shows static as well as periodic behavior over a wide range of model parameters. The model also exhibits other interesting stability characteristics, including bistability and transition from periodic to nonperiodic behavior through period doubling and torus bifurcations. For some range of the reader residence time the model exhibits chaotic behavior as well. Practical criteria are also derived for the effects of feed conditions and purge fraction on the dynamic characteristics of the bioreactor model.
