Goals

The goal of this course is to provide the students with an understanding and the tools to develop their own mathematical models, to plan experiments, to evaluate error propagation and to test simple process control strategies in the field of urban water management.

Content

The course will provide a broad introduction into the fundamentals of modeling water treatment systems. The topics are:

  • Introduction into modeling and simulation
  • The material balance equations, transport processes, transformation processes (kinetics, stoichiometry, conservation)
  • Ideal reactors
  • Hydraulic residence time distribution and modeling of real reactors
  • Dynamic behavior of reactor systems
  • Systems analytical tools: Sensitivity, parameter identification, error propagation, Monte Carlo simulation
  • Introduction to process control (PID controller, fuzzy control)
