Abstract

In the present paper, the uncertainty analysis for the activated sludge part in the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was done using stochastic differential equation (SDE) equations. Euler-Maruyama method was selected for the numerical solution of the It ̂o integral and the results were compared and analyzed with observational data.
