Short Description

AQUA DESIGNER is a software tool for the design of the several processes of a wastewater treatment plant, from mechanical treatment via biology up to sludge treatment. Regarding the basis of calculation, the process and the construction all common process variations are to choice. Planning is supported by many auxiliary functions.

As result AQUA DESIGNER supplies extensive documents ready to be printed for official documents, including buildings, machines, operating costs and true scaled drawings.

AQUA DESIGNER is used world-wide for the planning of treatment plants. The application is available in eleven different languages.

 Demo of functions

Simple Handling

One of the special characteristics of AQUA DESIGNER is the consistently guidance of the user by a flow diagram.

From the first sight you can see the current processing status, the selected way of design or process and the possible alternatives.

Basis of Calculation, Variations of Process and Construction

Mechanical Treatment

With AQUA DESIGNER you could select the following components:

• aerated grit and grease chamber
• circular grit chamber
• primary settling tank

Biology

Basis for dimensioning of the biological stage are different ATV-guidelines (A 126, A 131, M 210 etc.) and work reports, the university algorythm and extensive technical literature.

With AQUA DESIGNER you could dimension the following plants:

• secondary sedimentation as an inner sedimentation tank, compact-, round-, rectangular tank
• activated chamber as as ring-, round-, rectangular-, oxidation ditch or cascaded chambers
• vertical axis, horicontal axis or membranes as disc or tubular aerators
• dentrifugal or screw pumps as well as air lift pumps
• scraper or suction remover

Mechanical equipment like pumps, blowers, mixers are available in data bases. The power input of the machines selected here are automatically considered in the operation costs.

True scaled drawings of the buildings and aeration equipment support you while working out or evaluating the design.

Cleaning processes available:

• carbon degradation
• nitrification
• denitrification:
  • separate stage
  • intermittend
  • simultaneous
  • cascaded denitrification
• phosphorus removal
• external carbon dosage

Sludge Treatment

With the sludge treatment an important component of the planning of treatment plants has been integrated in AQUA DESIGNER.

The design of the sludge treatment includes:

• dimensioning of primary settling tank and gravitiy thickening
• anaerobic digestion with production of gas, current and heat
• load and quantity balance for supernatant and sludge
• consideration of internal cycles
• extension of the operation costs function by the yield of the use of digester gas

Documentation

As printout you get a detailed and clear documentation of the calculations. So that the calculation method is comprehensibly and the computing formulas are shown. In this printout you also find detailed information like load variation, oxygen efficiency, sedimentation line, mass evaluation or buoyancy and a list of the operational costs. The result of your planning with AQUA DESIGNER is a complete permissionable concept and documentation.

Additional Functions 

AQUA DESIGNER covers nearly all common forms of construction and process variations. The flexibility when planning is furthermore increased by a whole set of usefull functions.

Design options:

• check existing plants (parts) and include them into the calculation,
• dimension several lines,
• provide a direct comparison of calculation attempts or
• accomplish a quick calculation

Further modules for plant design:

• true scaled drawings,
• diagrams of the results,
• data bases for machines or
• operation costs for all treatments including anaerobic sludge digestion.

Variation of calculation:

• editing constants, concentrations or the densitiy precipitant,
• simulating different operational conditions by variations of temperature, MLSS or load and
• specifying values for safety ,fluctuation and peak factors.

Important information, for example:

• load variation,
• oxygen efficiency,
• sedimentation line,
• pipelinesn,
• mass- and buoyancy calculation.

Choice of Language: 

• bulgarian
• chinese
• croatian
• czech
• english
• french
• german
• hungarian
• polish
• romanian
• slowenian
• spain

Thus AQUA DESIGNER is applicable world-wide for the planning of new plants, for the extensions and reorganizations of existing sewage treatment plants. New in AQUA DESIGNER is the chinese language version. As result you get a detailed documentation intensively checked by our chinese partners.

Interfaces

Documents can be exported to word, graphics are generated in excel, an DXF-interface provides the drawings for editing for example in CAD-Software.

Manual and Hotline

Our support does not stop with the sales of AQUA DESIGNER:
We offer a really extensive service which does not only cover the operation of AQUA DESIGNER but also gives high qualified support for the design of wastewater treatment plants. That applies also to the comprehensive manual.
