Development of generalized empirical models for comparing effectiveness of wastewater nutrient removal technologies.The effectiveness of nutrient removal approaches was quantified at four wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) using mechanistic models. 
mechanistic models
Generalized empirical models were developed applying statistical methods on the predicted values characterizing nutrient removal as a function of influent wastewater quality.

Development of generalized empirical models for comparing effectiveness of wastewater nutrient removal technologies.The effectiveness of nutrient removal approaches was quantified at four wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) using mechanistic models.  Generalized empirical models were developed applying statistical methods on the predicted values characterizing nutrient removal as a function of influent wastewater quality.  The empirical models provide a framework to estimate nutrient removal effectiveness and inform system-level decisions on technology adoption.
