Applied Dynamic Modeling for Wastewater Treatment Plant Efficiency

Through a combination of theory and case study applications, the course provides practical experience on how to apply dynamic modeling simulators to design, operate, and optimize wastewater treatment plants. Particular emphasis is placed on turning plants into water resource recovery facilities by generating energy, fertilizers, and water for reuse. During the course, participants will have full-time access to a dynamic simulator, so they can implement themselves strategies and evaluate their operational costs. Energy savings and generation of electricity with biogas receive particular attention. Modeling calibration techniques are taught and implemented to achieve effluent quality standards.
