Description
Summary:Data obtained through the application of the Clarifier Research Technical Committee (CRTC) protocol were used to perform simulations using a mechanistic dynamic model of the secondary clarifier. The model is verified against field data, and the simulation results are used to analyze clarifier behavior. The information from the CRTC protocol provides a foundation for model-based analysis. Limitations of clarifier analysis based solely on empirical observation are discussed.
