Biological nutrient removal (BNR) is required for many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Due to the complexity of BNR processes in activated sludge system, mathematical models of the BioWin General Model are introduced to evaluate and optimize system configurations for BNR. Simulators of BioWin are real computer programs for BNR system design and optimization. A case of application of BioWin to BNR modeling in Beijing Wastewater Treatment Plant A (BWTPA, China) was studied to verify the reliability of the simulator.
