Projectomschrijving

This research will enable the modeling of nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater treatment plants using integrated CFD and biokinetic models. A reduced model (compartmental model) will be developed still yielding more realistic model predictions compared to current state-of-the-art models. Compartmental model will be used to develop mitigation strategies for nitrous oxide emissions.
