ADVANCED TOPICS : US$475
This 1-day advanced BioWin course is designed to cover a range of topics on application of BioWin. The assumption is that the majority of attendees are “experienced” BioWin users. The primary objectives are to provide information on certain model details, and to cover a range of example applications of BioWin. The case studies and discussions will be selected from of the following list of topics:

  • New BioWin Features
  • pH Modeling
  • Process Control Simulation
  • Aeration control simulation
  • Methanol Addition
  • Methanol-utilizing biomass modeling
  • Aeration Systems
  • Fine versus coarse bubble performance
  • Gas phase modeling and off-gas concentration analysis
  • Membrane Bioreactors
  • Nutrient removal MBRs
  • Impact of chemical dosing and return liquors
  • Biofilm Modeling
  • Modeling an IFAS system
  • Anaerobic Digestion
  • Gas production and stoichiometry
  • Hydrolysis rate impact on digestion of mixed primary and WAS
  • Primary sludge fermentation to improve bio-P removal
  • Struvite Precipitation
  • Struvite, HDP, HAP precipitation model
  • Chemical Phosphorus Precipitation
  • Ferric addition example
  • Sidestream Treatment
  • Overview of sidestream processes (eg ANAMMOX, SHARON, etc) and modeling
  • SBR Systems
  • WERF wastewater characterization system
  • Oxidation Ditch Systems
  • Ditch recirculation rate
  • BNR in oxidation ditches
  • SND – simultaneous nitrification denitrification

APPLICATIONS OF BW CONTROLLER : US$475
BW Controller is a powerful tool that can be used to design and evaluate real-time process control strategies for wastewater treatment plant optimization. It also has strong built-in tools that simplify design and evaluation of aeration control systems. BW Controller is an add-on application to BioWin or PetWin+ and provides deeper insight into your BioWin/PetWin+ simulations without compromising on ease of use. The BW Controller Course covers the following topics:

  • Introduction to process control fundamentals
  • General setup and operation of the BW Controller
  • Various hands-on examples of control strategy implementations like:
    • Level control
    • Aerobic digestion aeration control
    • Carbon dosage control
    • Aeration control based on dissolved oxygen
    • Aeration control based on DO and ammonia

ENERGY + OPEX : US$475
A one-day course exploring energy and operating expenses.

  • BioWin 5.0 enables users to capture a plant-wide inventory of power demand. For example, BioWin will calculate blower power requirements, taking into account factors such as inlet air temperature and relative humidity, pressure losses in the air delivery system, etc. Pumping power may also be tracked, accounting for detailed factors such as pipe material and diameter for dynamic head losses. Miscellaneous mechanical power for various treatment flowsheet elements also may be tracked.
  • To complement this new functionality, BioWin also includes the facility to easily implement up to three different electricity tariff rates over the day, and these patterns can be different across two “seasons” (e.g. summer and winter). With the additional ability to explore onsite power generation and heat recovery via CHP, tracking of other costs including consumables (e.g. methanol and metal salts) and sludge disposal, BioWin 5.0 has expanded capability as a plant management tool.
