Modeling And Simulation Of Lake Gerio Pollution Reduction In Jimeta-Yola Nigeria Using Mixed Culture

The pollution reduction of Lake Gerio was investigated using mixed Culture of Bacillus Subtilis and Pseudomonas Alcaligenes and Model expressions were developed to describe the behavior of micro organisms in bioremediation which were compared to some models proposed by some individuals in bioremediation applications. Pazouki proposed model was used to validate the experimental data to demonstrate the usability of the model in predicting the behavior of micro organisms in an aquatic environment. The model was simulated using MATLAB the results showed that the concentration of the substrate reduces linearly with time. The experimental data also showed concentration reduction with time but did not effectively fit the model. It was therefore concluded that the model can be used to approximately predict the behavior of the system. Therefore the model needs to be modified for accurate prediction of the behavior of micro organisms in an aquatic system.
