WEST Wastewater Treatment Works User Forum

WISA Modelling and Data Division in collaboration with Ekosource and DHI Present:

VIRTUAL WEST SOFTWARE FORUM  TUESDAY, 29 JULY 2025

Invitation

EkoSource Insight invites you to a free Virtual WEST Software User Forum, supporting DHI Software users in the SADC region. The session will focus on the importance of WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) modelling for optimizing operations, exploring design alternatives, and implementing control strategies. WEST is a user-friendly tool for dynamic modelling and simulation of WWTPs and related water systems, ideal for engineers, operators, and researchers studying complex physical, biological, or chemical processes.

Forum Topics

• Plant Design and Upgrade/Retrofitting (Capacity Extension, …)
• Process Optimization and Advanced Control
• Energy Optimization, Self-Sufficiency and Demand-Response (e.g., flexibility to cope with load shedding)
• CO2 Footprint Reporting and Mitigation
• Advanced Treatment
• Training and Knowledge Transfer within WWTP Staff
• Modelling of Integrated Urban Systems (Catchments, Sewer, WWTPs, Recipients)

Key Speakers

• Enrico Remigi (DHI): “WEST latest development and advanced digital solutions.” As well as an International Use Case Study – Topic TBC.
• Chris Brouckaert (Consultant): “The probabilistic influent fractionator – influent fractionation using routine raw sewage measurements.”
• Barbara Brouckaert (Consultant): “Using routine process measurements to estimate biodegradable fractions – a case study of the KwaMashu WWTP in Durban.”
