The Water and Energy Department is active in two aspects of the water/wastewater sector. One is the development of automation solutions (in particular process controllers). In the second area, simulation tools based on the SIMBA simulation platform (since 1994) are being developed, with which not only automation concepts but also process engineering variations and the mechanical equipment of wastewater systems can be analysed.
Current developments in wastewater treatment are implemented as modules for the SIMBA simulation system. In addition, simple and advanced process controllers for sewage treatment plants are analysed and developed.
