TL;DR: In this article, the Activated Sludge Model No. 3 (ASM3) is proposed to predict oxygen consumption, sludge production, nitrification and denitrification of activated sludge systems.

TL;DR: A complete overview of the Activated Sludge Model (ASM) family can be found in this article, where the authors present ASM1, ASM2 and ASM3 together for the first time.

TL;DR: ASM2d is based on ASM2 and is expanded to include the denitrifying activity of the phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs), which allows for improved modeling of the processes, especially with respect to the dynamics of nitrate and phosphate.

TL;DR: Redox balance was found to be a factor regulating the anaerobic uptake of substrates and their further metabolism and Glycogen seemed to serve not only as a source of reducing power necessary for the redox balance regulation but also as an important energy source, because glycolysis can provide both reducing power and energy.
