Dynamical Analysis of a Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor with the Formation of Biofilms for Wastewater Treatment

This paper analyzes the dynamics of a system that models the formation of biofilms in a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) when it is utilized for wastewater treatment. The growth rate of the microorganisms is modeled using two different kinetics, Monod and Haldane kinetics, with the goal of stu...

Zusammenfassung:This paper analyzes the dynamics of a system that models the formation of biofilms in a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) when it is utilized for wastewater treatment. The growth rate of the microorganisms is modeled using two different kinetics, Monod and Haldane kinetics, with the goal of studying the influence of each in the system. The equilibrium points are identified through a stability analysis, and the bifurcations found are characterized.
