Application of modelling techniques for optimising wastewater treatment plant performance

A wide range of modelling tools is now readily available to aid in the design, operation and optimization of wastewater treatment processes. But these models are sophisticated tools and their successful application requires an understanding of their limitations as well as the input data that is necessary to ensure their effectiveness. It is the aim of this course to examine those models that have found widespread usage in the UK. By use of case studies it will explore their effectiveness and seek to understand the information necessary for their successful application.
