The ATV-DVWK-A 131E standard (May 2000) provides a comprehensive, COD-based framework for designing single-stage activated sludge plants, focusing on sludge age, reactor configuration, and nutrient removal. It establishes parameters for biological reactors and secondary settling tanks, emphasizing a 25-year planning horizon and the use of dynamic simulation for optimization.
