We propose here a method for process monitoring that uses the stoichiometry matrix and a linear least square optimisation as a simple approach for process monitoring. The new method is benchmarked versus a well-established method: the continuous-discrete extended Kalman filter (CD-EKF) and both are compared estimating biological rates of a novel technology. It is seen that, although inferior to the CD-EKF, the new method can be an alternative for process monitoring in wastewater treatmentengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/MonitoringWastewater treatmentObserverExtended Kalman filterCiencias tecnológicas::3308 Ingeniería y tecnología del medio ambiente::330811 Control de la contaminación del aguaMaterias::Investigación::33 Ciencias tecnológicas::3311 tecnología de la instrumentación::331102 Ingeniería de controlconference outputopen access
