SUMO - Version 24 -Full Featured Wastewater Process Simulation Software

SUMO^© from Dynamita is the newest and most versatile dynamic simulation package on the market. After the influent measurements and plant configuration are entered, SUMO knows what kind of effluent quality will result, even daily peaks or during storms, and the user can try many operational or control scenarios in a short time.

SUMO can handle treatment plants of unlimited complexity: BOD, nitrogen and phosphorus removal, digestion, sidestream treatment, IFAS and MBBR, SBRs, trickling filters, granular sludge, membrane bioreactors, primary and final settling, thickeners, centrifuges, ponds and all process units typically used in municipal and industrial treatment plants.

The software comes with many real-life examples and a detailed manual to help the introduction of advanced modelling for new users. SUMO is already used worldwide in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia by design engineers, municipalities and plant personnel, as well as in universities. Its main advantages are its open process source code, very fast simulation times, extensive model set and affordable pricing. The international team behind SUMO is well known for its outstanding support which is included in the license.

SUMO speaks English, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and more languages are added continuously. Dynamita and its representatives are present in France, Canada, Austria, UK, Hungary, South Korea, Japan, China and Vietnam.

The new SUMO24 is out with significant improvements. Comes with new scenario handling with extended analysis and optimization features, PFAS model,
optimized IUWS library (urban catchment and river models), denitrification filter, manual (operational data based) and prezone SBR, HRT calculation tool. Robust
steady-state solver, easy scenario handling, SPA tool and a ton of other new features.
