This paper presents a novel simulation tool to understand and to analyze biological models for wastewater treatment processes using microalgae. The models for this type of processes are very complex to be analyzed because of very different phenomena, variables and parameters involved. The model already included into the tool has been validated at controlled conditions simulating outdoor ones, it being useful to simulate real outdoor cultures. The major contribution of the proposed tool is that these models can be easily and interactively simulated and compared. The tool allows to simulate biological models only considering microalgae or including the microalgae-bacteria consortium. Moreover, the simulations can be done only using the solar radiation contribution or by adding the environmental and bacteria effects as cardinal terms. Furthermore, effects of the wastewater properties or different microalgae strain can be evaluated. The interactive simulations can be performed for selected days as representative of the different year seasons that are already preloaded in the tool. However, the user can also load data from other locations to simulate the models under particular conditions.

一种将生物模型模拟到微藻废水处理中的交互式工具

本文提出了一种新的模拟工具，用于理解和分析使用微藻的废水处理过程的生物模型。由于所涉及的现象、变量和参数非常不同，因此此类过程的模型分析起来非常复杂。已包含在工具中的模型已在模拟户外环境的受控条件下进行了验证，这对于模拟真实的户外文化非常有用。所提出的工具的主要贡献是这些模型可以轻松交互地模拟和比较。该工具允许模拟仅考虑微藻或包括微藻-细菌联盟的生物模型。此外，模拟只能使用太阳辐射贡献或通过添加环境和细菌影响作为基本项来完成。此外，可以评估废水特性或不同微藻菌株的影响。可以在选定的日期执行交互式模拟，作为已预加载到工具中的不同年份季节的代表。但是，用户也可以从其他位置加载数据以在特定条件下模拟模型。
