Abstract
Optimization of wastewater treatment facilities can result in achievement of desired efficiency at least cost along with the saving of the energy. In this study, three case studies of five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Ontario province of Canada have been presented. These WWTPs were monitored and their current operating conditions were analyzed using BioWin model. Optimization process revealed that reduced aeration tankage can be adopted for plants operating at capacities lesser than 70% and uncontrolled nitrification in the plants can cause complications resulting in high chlorine dosage.
