Abstract
The authors have reported a mathematical model of continuous flow stir tank reactors (CFSTRs) in series that uses transport detention time (TDT), a new concept, instead of traditional hydraulic retention time to model biological oxygen demand (BOD) in a treatment wetland. Their rigorous model solution, by method of Laplace transform and transfer function, provides an analytical solution for BOD removal that produces results that are closer to observed values from two treatment wetlands than results from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) (1988) plug flow reactor (PFR) model. The authors’ consideration of dispersion and solute transport processes in their model formulation is commendable in that it includes a more realistic description of the physics describing BOD transport and reduction in a treatment wetland.
