Wastewater Modeling Essentials

Wastewater modeling is becoming an essential skill for professionals in the wastewater industry and is becoming standard practice for most projects. Process modeling has a wide range of applications including design, modification, optimization, operation, and control of wastewater systems.

It is a critical tool for wastewater treatment professionals, enabling data-driven decision-making, process optimization, and regulatory compliance. This Wastewater Modeling course provides an in-depth, structured approach to developing and applying wastewater process models. Many in the wastewater field are familiar with various wastewater modeling software options; however, a software cannot provide accurate and reliable results without a solid understanding of the modeling process. This course goes far beyond software to ensure participants understand essential concepts in modeling, data that must be gathered, how the models use data, essential steps in a well-performed modeling process, how to ensure models provide helpful and realistic outputs, and other important considerations.

This course is essential for wastewater professionals who are increasingly expected to be able to accurately create and apply wastewater modeling in their work. This course covers fundamental and advanced concepts, including good modeling practices, data analysis, wastewater fractionation, reactor setup, calibration, biological nutrient removal, and solids processing. Participants will gain hands-on experience through interactive exercises, case studies, and real-world applications.

This course is applicable to wastewater professionals, regardless of what wastewater modeling software they may choose to use. While the course is intended for those who will be performing the modeling work, it is also recommended for professionals who may be overseeing, reviewing, and wanting to understand modeling results. No prior modeling experience is required. However, it is important to have wastewater experience. Those who do have prior modeling have found the course to be very beneficial as we are able to explore questions related to their experience and problems they are tackling in their work.
