This study presents a method to automatically generate wastewater treatment plant models from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. This approach improves dynamic simulations and aids in analyzing plant performance issues.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • Dynamic simulation models are crucial for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) design and optimization.
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been applied to WWTPs, but integrating its results into dynamic models remains a challenge.
  • Empirical model structure selection can introduce bias in dynamic simulation studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated method for generating dynamic simulation model structures from CFD results.
  • To eliminate subjective choices in model structure selection for activated sludge processes.
  • To provide a tool for analyzing WWTP performance issues potentially caused by poor flow dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 3-dimensional CFD simulations to analyze fluid dynamics in biological treatment steps under various loading conditions.
