DESIGN EVALUATION
As an engineer in today’s water industry, you are under pressure to attain higher throughput with current assets, whether you are on the potable or wastewater treatment side. You are now being asked to push the operational envelope with plant that was designed for lower demand. However, you still have to meet exacting quality standards. Not only must upgrades and retrofits be cost-effective and safe, but this must be demonstrated in advance, sometimes with new technology, like UV disinfection. Simulation tools, such as CFD, can help evaluate alternative options quickly and reliably, steering you to the right investment decisions.
SIMULATION
Conventional design tools treat unit operations and processes as “black boxes” with assumed contaminant mass transfer. However, in many units such as settling tanks and disinfection units, internal flow details can have a huge influence on performance. We use CFD simulation to match retention, mixing, reaction or settling time requirements to actual residence time distribution, diagnose underperforming units, evaluate alternative design or selection options and retrofits.
