Abstract:
This Final Degree Project evaluates the nutrient removal efficiency of the Tarragona WWTP to assess its readiness for future stricter phosphorus and nitrogen limits. It examines nutrient reduction throughout treatment stages, focusing on nitrification and denitrification. Sampling methods, analytical techniques, and equipment are detailed. A MATLAB analysis explores the correlation between temperature and removal efficiency. System stability is assessed using control charts for BOD₅ and SS. COD performance is also evaluated.
