Abstract

The use of microalgae for wastewater treatment shows great potential.However, optimization of this process is needed to make it economically more viable.A model-based approach is a cost-effective and efficient way to do this.Therefore, a microalgae model developed for the species Chlorella vulgaris is now further extended with the processes of heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth.
