Summary, in English

In this paper the Petersen and composition matrices that modellers are now familiar with are used

as a basis to construct interfacing models between subsystems considered in wastewater treatment.

Starting from continuity considerations and a set of transformation reactions between components used in

the two models of the subsystems to be interfaced, a set of linear algebraic equations needs to be solved.

The theoretical development is illustrated using a simplified integrated model of an activated sludge system

coupled to an anaerobic digester. Continuity-guaranteed interfacing of subsystems will facilitate optimization

studies of the within-the-fence process units of a wastewater treatment plant or of the integrated urban

wastewater system.
