WASTEWATER PROCESS MODEL LIBRARIES

GPS-X incorporates the latest developments in wastewater process model technology to provide you with a comprehensive and realistic model of your treatment plant. Each wastewater model library is available in two versions: Basic and Full. The Full library includes all of the wastewater process objects included in the Basic version plus additional unit processes.


Carbon-Nitrogen

For modelling carbon oxidation, nitrification and denitrification.


Carbon-Nitrogen- Phosphorus

Builds on the Carbon-Nitrogen library by including models for biological AND chemical phosphorus removal.


Advanced Carbon- Nitrogen

Similar to Carbon - Nitrogen library, but fate of nitrite and nitrite nitrogen are modelled separately. Also includes inert nitrogen (both soluble and particulate form) and inert non-volatile solids (ash).


Industrial Pollutant

Combines Carbon-Nitrogen library and 30 user definable components. Required for industrial wastewater treatment applications.


Advanced Industrial Pollutant

Combines the Advanced Carbon-Nitrogen library with the Industrial Pollutant library.


Open

Contains 15 fully customizable components. Possible applications include modelling of paper production, chemical industry processes, petroleum, etc.

GPS-X Process Table
Process object titles in blue indicate additional objects available in Full version.
Settlers and clarifiers in Basic version are one dimensional and non-reactive.
Full version adds 2 dimensional reactive capability.
