Modelling of wastewater treatment plants with WEST Introductory training course 17-18 June 2014 at DHI, Hørsholm, DK

1. ©DHI
The two-day, hands-on course gives you an overview of the aspects to be
addressed when working with modelling biological wastewater treatment plants.
The course provides you with a comprehensive training in the WEST wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP) modelling simulator.
WWTP modelling is essential for scientists and practitioners who work with
exploring design alternatives, optimising plant operations (eg to improve
performance and reduce cost), implementing control strategies, etc. WWTP
modelling is also an ideal learning tool that may be used (eg by plant operators) to
investigate the complex process dynamics and interactions that characterise a
modern WWTP.
WEST is an extremely user-friendly software tool that combines advanced
modelling features such as objective evaluation and uncertainty analysis with
extraordinary performance, full flexibility and openness.
COURSE TOPICS
 Introduction to the WEST Graphical User Interface
 Model configuration (plant layout)
 Base experiment type: Dynamic simulation
- objective evaluation
 Advanced experiment types
- local and global sensitivity analysis
- parameter estimation
- scenario analysis
- uncertainty analysis
 Hand-on exercises
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Professionals working at all levels of WWTP engineering (i.e. design, operation,
process optimisation and management); academics involved in wastewater
engineering (at under– and post-graduate level); decision – and policy makers.
It is an advantage, but no condition, that participants are familiar with the activated
sludge modelling (ASM) concept and design/operation of WWTP.
