Following the directions set by the International Water Association for the development of benchmarks to compare control strategies and fault detection methods in activated sludge plants, a carrousel benchmark has been developed. It is based on a real plant (Golbey-Epinal, France), on which wastewater characteristics were measured. The model incorporate sludge bulking effects based in the ratio ammonia-to-nitrate in the effluent and inhibition effects due to the possible presence of toxicants in the influent.
