Abstract

Wastewater stabilization pond is a very large pond where wastewater is stored for a long time, in that pond there is a biological process of organic matter in the sludge produced from primary deposition, and it’s resulting in stable biological treatment of wastewater. Wastewater treatment is used to reduce organic matter and remove pathogens to a level that complies with water quality standards. Many biological processes are carried out using microorganisms such as bacteria. The purpose of this paper is to develop a simple mathematical model of a system nonlinear differential equations in biological wastewater treatment by considering the inflow and outflow during the treatment process. The system of equations is built using the basic Monod equations. Then linearize the system by finding the Jacobian matrix. Stability of the system differential equations around the equilibrium point is analyzed by looking for characteristic equations, eigenvalues and phase portraits and its shows that the model is asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations to determine the changes that occur at each concentration over time were carried out using the Fourth-order Runge Kutta method. The data were obtained from the facultative stabilization pond in Sewon, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The simulation shows that the concentration of DO (dissolved oxygen) has increased to stable, while the concentration of OM (organic matter) and B (bacteria) has decreased to stable. Computational calculations and visualization system to get the equilibrium point using Maple 18 and finding the solution using the Matlab (R2015a).
