Biological systems are frequently used for wastewater treatment and hazardous materials remediation. The primary problem cited with these systems is the lack of a structured methodology that can be used to predict the performance for design and operational applications. The purpose of this article is to present the background and examples of a novel methodology for analyzing biological treatment processes. This technique is much more cost‐effective and accurate than conventional approaches. The article will address applications for both biological wastewater treatment systems and bioremediation processes.
