Abstract
With the perspective of investigating a suitable control design for autotrophic nitrogen removal,
this work presents a complete model of the SHARON/Anammox reactor sequence. The dynamics of the
reactor were explored pointing out the different scales of the rates in the system: slow microbial
metabolism against fast chemical reaction and mass transfer. Likewise, the analysis of the dynamics
contributed to establish qualitatively the requirements for control of the reactors, both for regulation and
for optimal operation. Work in progress on quantitatively analysing different control structure (pairing of
controlled variables with manipulated variables) as well as exploring the feasibility of advanced process
control including model predictive control.
