The EAWAG Bio-P module for activated sludge model No. 3.

An additional module for the prediction of enhanced biological phosphorus removal is presented on the basis of a calibrated version of ASM3. The module uses modified processes from ASM2d but neglects the fermentation of readily degradable substrate. Biomass decay is modeled in the form of endogenous respiration as in ASM3. Moreover, an additional glycogen pool and biologically induced P-precipitation were not taken into account. The module was systematically calibrated with experimental data from various batch experiments, a full-scale WWTP and a pilot plant treating Swiss municipal waste water. A standard parameter set allowed all data to be simulated.
