An input‐output method, using a network of ideal continuous stirred‐tank and plug‐flow tublar reactors, is adopted to analyze residence time distribution data for a separated mechanical aeration system. The usefulness of this modeling concept is enhanced by its simplicity, especially in the presence of a first‐order reaction. This facilitates use of the model format for wastewater quality prediction. Moreover, first‐order rate constants can also be estimated from the model, if conversions due to the reaction rate are available.
