WWTP Process simulation software
WWTP Process simulation software
(OP)
I have a question regarding process simulation of WWTP with for example HySys or ProII or equivalent. Is this possible and if so what does it require? I have been trying to find information about this but have yet not succeded, so any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards

Do you have any experience in using GPS-X? I wonder how well it functions compared to a "normal" process simulation software (ie how accurate the models are), is it usable for optimizing WWTP´s for example? I downloaded the demo but you can´t run any simulations with it, so it´s hard to see how well the results correlate to "real" values.

I don't have any numbers to put on the accuracy of the models but obviously, as with all modelling software, it depends on the quality of the data you have to base your model on anyway. The variability of wastewater is also a big problem in comparison to other process modelling work I have been involved in.
I can say the people at Hydromantis were really helpful when trying to set the models up. It might be worth giving them a call to discuss the accuracy of the models. Their development work may make my earlier statements out-of-date anyway and I'm sure you are capable of cutting through the sales speak to interpret the information for your own purposes!

Thank you for your help once again, it has been much appreciated.

If you are going down the route of paying for customisation, also consider STOAT - solutions@wrcplc.co.uk. I work on STOAT, and (a) have used it for modelling oily waste at a refinery, (b) would be delightedt o enhance it further.
However, for speed of response, I would sugget that you go for the off-the-shelf PetroWin.
