Quantitative analyses of anaerobic waste water treatment processes: identifiability and parameter estimation.

Abstract:

We investigate the problem of identifying the parameters of a non-linear fifth order model describing the population dynamics of two main bacterial groups in an anaerobic wastewater treatment process.
In addition to addressing problems concerning structural and practical identifiability, we also analyze how mathematical descriptions of bacterial population dynamics are able to model real data.
Using three data sets recorded under different experimental conditions we estimate important biochemical parameters and demonstrate that our model is able to describe the data successfully.
Parameters, which are simultaneously determined using information from all three experiments, have more reliable estimates. We conclude that, after appropriate estimation, this model can be used
for optimization and the control of continuous processes.
