Design and Analysis of STP Using Dynamic Modelling and Simulation Software (GPS-X)

摘要

Wastewater treatment is a process used to remove contaminants from wastewater or sewage and convert it into effluent that can be returned to the water cycle with acceptable impact on the environment or reused for various purposes. The design of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is a theoretical process and thus lacks methods to test the design and identify its flaws that might show up in the practical design. Dynamic modelling and simulation softwares can help bridge this gap by performing computer-aided simulations of the sewage treatment process. The project aims to demonstrate the use of the software (GPS-X) that can help make this process economical and convenient. The paper then further focuses on upgrading the STP by modifying its components and analyzing it using the GPS-X software.
