WEST Modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment plants

WEST is a powerful and user-friendly modelling software for dynamic modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and other types of water quality related systems. It is designed for operators, engineers and researchers interested in studying physical, biological or chemical processes in WWTPs, sewer systems and rivers.

APPLICATIONS APPLICATIONS FEATURES

EVALUATION OF DESIGN OPTIONS

When designing or upgrading a WWTP, WEST enables you to compare different design solutions in terms of performance with respect to specific objectives, such as effluent quality, investments and operational costs. The Scenario Analysis tool and the possibility to define custom objective functions in WEST allow you to select the best design for your plant.

You can also take a more conventional approach to plant design by means of the Designer Application. This allows you to design a WWTP according to a template and following a design protocol, such as ATV.

PROCESS OPTIMISATION

Improvements to the operations of a WWTP may lead to considerable benefits in terms of process performance, effluent quality as well as operational costs, for example for aeration. The Parameter Estimation tool enables you to identify the combination of operational conditions that optimise a given objective.

MODEL CALIBRATION

Model calibration is an essential part of the model development process. The local and global Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Estimation tools in WEST are invaluable to efficiently calibrate your model.

DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED CONTROL STRATEGIES

To assess different control strategies by experimenting is typically a cumbersome exercise. WEST provides flexible control models as well as automated conversion of Matlab fuzzy logic controllers. This makes it the tool of choice for evaluating control strategies prior to their actual implementation.

MONITORING OF PLANT OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING

A calibrated model of a WWTP can be used to predict the dynamic response to different types of variations, for example in the influent composition, in order to identify bottlenecks and the appropriate countermeasures. It can also be used for training operators through the offline simulation of a variety of control actions. The Scenario and Uncertainty Analysis tools in WEST are very beneficial to understand the complex processes taking place in a modern WWTP.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

When studying novel treatment approaches, you require a software tool that is both sufficiently flexible to capture newly acquired knowledge, such as models and data, and fast enough to evaluate a large number of alternatives within a reasonable timeframe. WEST excels in both areas, demonstrated by its Block Editor and Model Editor applications (for developing custom model libraries) and the availability of the WEST engine on a number of high performance computing (HPC) infrastructures and supercomputers.

MODELLING INTEGRATED URBAN WATER SYSTEMS

The water quality in integrated urban water systems (IUWS) is simulated taking into account WWTPs, sewers and river catchments. The integrated IUWS library makes WESTforOPTIMIZATION a powerful tool to identify synergies and to globally optimise the wastewater system performance.

MODULES MODULES BENEFITS

WESTforOPERATORS

This is a simplified version of WEST limited to steady state and dynamic simulation as well as the computation of custom objective functions. Essentially, it allows you to execute WEST projects that are based on read-only models and plant layouts prepared with higher versions of WEST. It is well-suited for training and for evaluation of operational strategies on a fixed plant model.

WESTforDESIGN

This is similar to WESTforOPERATORS in the sense that it allows steady state and dynamic simulation as well as computation of custom objective functions. In addition, it enables the graphical creation of plant layouts based on a read-only model library.

WESTforDESIGN is ideal for design purposes when you have a limited amount of data, limited time and need to quickly compare scenarios such as different loads, layouts or control strategies.

WESTforOPTIMIZATION

This is the full product that allows you to create both basic projects, which are solely based on steady state or dynamic simulation, as well as more complex projects exploiting WEST’s powerful tools for model calibration (Global Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Estimation), reliable predictions of plant performance (Uncertainty Analysis) and process optimisation (Parameter Estimation).

Next to graphical creation of plant layouts, it enables you to create entirely customised model libraries by using the Model Editor and Block Editor applications.

WESTforAUTOMATION

LITPACK Littoral processes and coastline kinetics

Design and implementation of efficient coastline management strategies, locally as well as regionally, require detailed knowledge of the physical processes controlling the transport and sedimentation of beach materials. LITPACK applies a unique deterministic approach to give you a powerful tool for a wide range of coastal zone management applications.

APPLICATIONS MODULES BENEFITS

LITPACK is applicable for a wide range of coastal management and optimisation projects.


LITPACK is the ideal software for:

impact assessment of coastal works on coastline dynamics

evaluation of different designs and types of coastal constructions, including groynes, revetments, harbours and breakwaters

optimisation of beach redevelopment plans, including artificial nourishment

design and evaluation of coastal protection

execution of morphological baseline studies. These studies often lead to the definition of more detailed studies undertaken with other tools

LITPACK includes the same well-proven graphical user interface (GUI) as our MIKE 21 and MIKE 3 products.


LITPACK also utilises the same preprocessing and postprocessing (PP) module as MIKE 21 and MIKE 3. This module provides an integrated work environment with convenient and compatible routines. It simplifies the tasks of data input, analysis and presentation of simulation results.

If you already have a MIKE 21 or a MIKE 3 on the same installation, you do not need an additional PP module for LITPACK.

STPQ3 - THE CORE OF LITPACK

The core of LITPACK is the STPQ3 sediment transport model - a deterministic description of noncohesive sediment transport in a single point. For decades, this model has been used and improved and has proven very reliable.

Applying STPQ3 in a series of points in a profile and using the actual wave and current climate permit the calculation of the littoral drift and annual net and gross sediment transport. The combination of these data enables modelling and analysis of coastline evolution, including the effects of constructions and other measures on the coastline.

LITPACK is proven science turned into a productive tool for coastal engineers.

It combines unique expert knowledge about physical processes within waves, currents and sediment transport with efficient numerical simulation and an efficient user interface. The professional user is able to undertake complex studies in a productive and safe manner.

To facilitate this, LITPACK also contains a series of productivity tools, such as graphical editors and animated presentation of results.

LITPACK simulates a wide range of wave and current scenarios along straight or nearly straight coastlines. It combines these simulations into predictions of coastal profiles and long-term coastline evolution.

APPLICATIONS FEATURES BENEFITS

ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY

The task of establishing the basic model bathymetry is normally a time consuming and expensive part of coastal and marine modelling projects. MIKE C-MAP can reduce this task to minutes.

MIKE C-MAP works with data from digital nautical charts. With the correct charts, you can create a bathymetry of almost any coastal region in the world. You select the model area and a bathymetry is created directly in the internal digital MIKE format.

In cases where more specific or precise data are available in parts of the bathymetry area, these can easily be added and taken into account in MIKE’s Mesh Generator.

In order to produce your model bathymetries, you need MIKE C-MAP and the relevant data from Jeppesen Norway.

ABOUT JEPPESEN NORWAY

Jeppesen Norway is the provider of sea chart information in digital form. This is the data which is turned into your model bathymetries. C-MAP data are available in a number of packages. Prices vary depending on the size and location of the geographical area.

TURN C-MAP DATA INTO BATHYMETRIES

MIKE C-MAP is the MIKE Powered by DHI application which is used to turn C-MAP data into model bathymetries for your MIKE models.

TIDAL DATA

In addition to bathymetric data, Jeppesen Norway also provides tidal data. MIKE C-MAP extracts these tidal data and can turn them into the formats needed, for example, for tidal boundary conditions for MIKE 21.

ABM Lab offers unique integration of agent based modelling with classical water quality and hydrodynamic modelling. It is possible to address questions beyond the scope of more traditional water quality and ecological models. ABM Lab is a flexible numerical laboratory used to define agents, their behaviour and states.


ABM Lab is a flexible numerical laboratory where the user can define agents, their behaviour and states. It integrates with our hydrodynamic models in two and three dimensions (MIKE 21 and MIKE 3).

The Lagrangian ABM Lab can work with the hydrodynamics alone, or it can be combined with the Eulerian ECO Lab in order to make the agents react to water quality parameters.


ABM Lab is the ideal software for:

numerical modelling of the impacts of dredging plumes on coral spawning and recruitment

modelling eelgrass succession patterns and determining the recolonisation of eelgrass

modelling the migration of salmonide fish larvae through different wetland construction designs

modelling of bull shark migration patterns in a semi-enclosed ecosystem

ABM Lab is a general tool which permits you to define agents, including their internal state and processes, movement, interaction with the environment as well as interaction with other agents of the same or different types.

With ABM Lab, you can model:

Movement, which can be passive (drift) or active (depending on other model parameters). The resulting movement can be the sum of several independent movement vectors

Sensing, where the individual's sensing of the environment and of other agents is done through ‘Restricted Area Search Functions’

Interaction with other elements, including functions such as create, split, remove, eliminate and transfer

The use of these functions permits modelling of complicated behaviours such as:

complicated horizontal and vertical movement

migration and swarming

foraging and breeding

growth, death and predator-prey relations

Combined with the hydrodynamic MIKE models and ECO Lab, ABM Lab is unique for undertaking agent based modelling.

It is possible to establish a user-friendly tool that makes it feasible to apply this type of technique in the context of real engineering projects.

water quality and ecological studies related to subsurface and groundwater, rivers, wetlands, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal waters and the sea

spatial predictions of any ecosystem response

simple and complex water quality studies

impact and remediation studies

planning and permitting studies

water quality forecasts

One of the preconditions of ecological modelling is an accurate flow model for the area of interest. ECO Lab integrates seamlessly with the MIKE suite of flow simulation models covering all aspects - ranging from 1D, 2D and 3D free surface modelling to integrated hydrology:

MIKE HYDRO River (1D)

MIKE 21 (2D)

MIKE 3 (3D)

MIKE SHE (Hydrology)

ECO Lab works out of the box, using predefined templates covering standard water quality issues.

The predefined templates can be used as the basis for user-defined ecosystem models.

You may also start from a blank template making use of the wide range of libraries of constants and functions, which make it easy to generate and edit your own templates.

ECO Lab combines the best of two worlds - you get access to our well-proven and widely used standard water quality models and you get complete freedom to include your own know-how or research ideas and test them against your field data.

ECO Lab models work across the range of 1D, 2D and 3D MIKE modelling packages - as will your own templates.

You can focus on the processes and forget about programming.

You can exchange ideas and models with colleagues around the world. Simply send them a copy of your templates.

As ECO Lab contains a generic equation solver, it can also be used for generic postprocessing of hydrodynamic results, for example, in calculating flood risk indices or scour risk formula.

COAST AND SEA

ECO LAB Ecological modelling made simple

With ECO Lab you get a complete numerical laboratory for water quality and ecological modelling. You can develop exactly the model you need and describe the processes you wish. No ecological problem is too simple or too complicated for ECO Lab and there is no time-consuming programming involved.

REDUCING COSTS FOR AARHUS WATER

Challenge

Aarhus water is responsible for the operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP)equivalent to 500.000 PE. The population growth in the area is creating a need for additional treatment capacity. This need may be met either by building new infrastructures, such as aerations or settlement tanks, or by process optimisation within the existing physical configuration.

Solution

By installing ammonium, nitrate and phosphate sensors and feeding the data into DIMS.CORE, operational data are established and used to make the treatment process more efficient. As a result, the power consumption has dropped substantially and so has the use of expensive chemicals, while effluent quality has improved.

Value

By introducing DIMS.CORE and additional online sensors with operational control at four of their largest WWTPs, Aarhus Water has reduced yearly operational costs by EUR 250,000. Moreover, by improving the effluent quality, Aarhus Water has saved EUR 150,000 per year in effluent taxes.
