Analysis of Steady State Substrate Removal Models for the RBC (Rotating Biological Contactor),
Abstract
This paper evaluates three independently-derived steady state mechanistic substrate removal models for the rotating biological contactor (RBC), intended for use by design engineers. The three models evaluated are: (1) Kornegay's steady state model for carbonaceous waste treatment; (2) Schroeder's steady state RBC design equation; and (3) Grieve's Pseudo-homogeneous steady state model. Utilizing a common data base, each has been assessed with respect to model calibration, adequacy of fit, relative influence exerted by various design parameters, and limitations and restrictions.
