The Competition between Polyphosphate-Accumulating Organisms and Glycogen-Accumulating Organisms: Temperature Effects and Modelling

The book examines competition between glycogen-accumulating organisms and polyphosphate-accumulating organisms and their link to the instability of the enhanced biological phosphorus removal process in activated sludge wastewater treatment systems. Based on laboratory- and full-scale experimental work as well as mathematical modeling, this research contributes to better understanding about the environmental and operating conditions affecting the PAO-GAO competition and, therefore, the EBPR process performance and stability.
