Objectives

At the end of the course, the student will have obtain an assimilation of the IWA Activated Sludge Model Nº1 (ASM1), and practical skills in the management of free software Lynx ASM1 (developed by the group team in the Aula Bioindicación Gonzalo Cuesta). In addition, the student will have been able to evaluate the benefit / effort ratio offered by this kind of tools, based on the case studies presented and the own designs developed by the student during the practical exercise. So, the student will be qualified to learn how to diagnose the state of the process, to detect their limitations and explore the ideal strategies of operation in a great variety of scenarios.

Who this course is for

Professionals specialized in the fields of operation, design or commissioning of WWTP.
Professionals and managers of industries with wastewater treatment plants.
Students and professionals interested in specializing in the field of modelling and simulation of WWTP.
