The impact of adding a modified Ludzack–Ettinger (MLE) configuration with Nitrate Recycle (NRCY) on continuous-flow aerobic granulation has yet to be explored. potential negative effects MLE sludge densification include that: (1) bioflocs brought by NRCY could compete granules in feast zones; and (2) carbon addition anoxic zones increase the system organic loading rates lead higher feast-to-fam...

This paper deals with the influence of hardware aspects of modern computer architectures to the design of software for numerical simulations. We present performance tests for various tasks arising in FEM computations and show under which circumstances performance loss can occur. Further we give key ideas for our new software package FEAST, which is especially designed for high performance compu...
