WEST^® being a user-friendly modelling and simulation platform is a powerful tool for designing wastewater treatment plants. WESTforDESIGN allows for validation of design options and evaluation of different plant layouts in dynamic conditions. This is done by running scenarios, e.g. for high load and low load conditions, and by evaluating the effect of complex control strategies.

Design engineers will appreciate the following features:

• Fast and easy setup of configurations, using predefined plant layouts (unlimited size and complexity, including multiple controllers)
• An extensive process library: next to the common activated sludge processes and settlers, it also includes SBR, MBR, TF, IFAS and MBBR models
• Automatic generation of optimized code, resulting in unparalleled simulation speed
• Influent fractionation and data evaluation
• Sensitivity analysis
• An open structure to implement models and methodology

WEST^® is the perfect tool for accurately assessing the cost and risk of a design.
