Systematic errors obtained in using traditional models of aerobic waste treatment processes are discussed. These errors are observed to arise due to the lack of matching of traditional models to experimental data in the case of broad variations of process parameters, for instance, organic loading. It is shown that the generalized models of waste treatment proposed earlier by the author permit these errors to be eliminated.
