Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Software

Using the data inputted by the user, supplemented by additional details from our proprietary influent, effluent, and regional databases, Design Generator starts with a full wastewater treatment process simulation. Through the representation of chemical, physical, biological, and other technical processes and unit operations, all run in industry-standard simulators, highly defined Process Simulations are executed within Design Generator.

The outputs of the simulation serve as a basis for all Process Schemes and Process related documentation generated by Design Generator, as well as provide input for equipment selection and BIM model generation. The simulation uses both Steady-State and Dynamic modeling, capable of introducing variable parameters, such as influent wastewater temperature fluctuations or daily and seasonal influent flow variations. Design Generator is capable of creating engineering documents for CAS, MBR, IFAS, MBBR, and other facilities. In addition, due to the modular nature of this subsystem, alternative technologies can be implemented with ease.

After all elements of a wastewater treatment facility are selected and designed, the next step is determining how the facility will be structured. Depending on both Mechanical Engineering and Process Modeling outputs, Abstract Building Modeling solves the challenge of placing all elements of a wastewater facility in physical space.

Designing reactor spaces, equipment buildings, and control room locations are all part of this coordination management process, along with the finer details of architecture such as wall thicknesses, construction materials and general building construction elements. To create as sophisticated of a model as possible, the subsystem utilizes optimized generative algorithms for general architectural arrangements. The whole process serves as a tool to finalize all documentation and specifications in a very time-efficient and platform-independent manner.

The various output packages of our Process Design Simulation, Equipment Selection, and BIM are communicated directly to Design Generator’s Drawing Generator module. In return, Drawing Generator handles the complete process of drawing generation for all engineering documents, including Process Schemes and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams.

Depending on the Process Design Simulation and Equipment Selection outputs, these documents are labelled with proper item quantities and equipment specifications, resulting in very precise, accurate P&ID and Process Schemes for that given project. As a final step, all details from these document packages are collected in one database and an Equipment List, Instrument List, Load List (for precise electricity consumption), and Operation Cost estimation document are all generated. With this data the user can easily estimate both the Capital and Operating cost of the facility, allowing the user to make the best decision for a given project.
