BioWin, developed by EnviroSim Associates Ltd., Canada is a prominent software for modelling and simulating wastewater treatment processes, with a particular focus on biological wastewater treatment systems, covering activated sludge processes, sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), anaerobic digestion, and more. Key attributes of BioWin software include:
Process Modelling: BioWin enables dynamic modelling of wastewater treatment facilities, encompassing the definition of key process components, like reactors, clarifiers, aeration systems, and nutrient removal units. It accommodates various treatment configurations and offers parameter customization.
Biological Kinetics: The software incorporates robust biological models to simulate the biological reactions within wastewater treatment. It integrates diverse kinetic equations to represent microbial growth, substrate utilization, nutrient removal, and other required biological processes.
Nutrient Removal: Built-in models facilitate the simulation of nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes, including nitrification, denitrification, deammonification, and biological phosphorus removal. This capability allows for the analysis and optimization of nutrient removal strategies.
Solids Separation: BioWin includes tools for modelling solids separation processes like sedimentation in clarifiers and sludge settling in secondary clarifiers. Settling models are provided to estimate sludge concentrations and settleability.
Dynamic Simulation: The software supports dynamic simulations, permitting the assessment of process performance over time, accommodating diurnal variations, influent load fluctuations, and dynamic control strategies.
Sensitivity and Scenario Analysis: BioWin offers features for sensitivity analysis and scenario testing, enabling the modification of model parameters, input conditions, and control strategies to evaluate their impact on process performance and optimize plant operations.
Reporting and Visualization: BioWin provides reporting and visualization tools for in-depth analysis and presentation of simulation results. Users can generate graphs, tables, and summary reports for effective interpretation and communication. These reports are exportable in Excel and Word formats for further analysis.
Widely utilized by wastewater treatment professionals, consultants, researchers, and engineers involved in wastewater treatment process design, optimization, and operation, BioWin serves as a valuable tool for understanding process dynamics, enhancing treatment efficiency, and predicting the consequences of process modifications. Elixir Enviro Systems is the authorized distributor of BioWin software in India.
