Biological treatment as a configurable process train.

Municipal and industrial biological-treatment concepts from influent characterization through aeration, sludge, MBR planning and reuse context.

Status In Development

What it designs and supported configurations

Municipal and industrial biological-treatment concepts from influent characterization through aeration, sludge, MBR planning and reuse context.

Conceptual biological train
MBR equipment planning
Planned activated sludge, reuse and downstream membrane handoff

Current capability

In-development process-family and treatment-train foundation
MBR equipment-planning basis with transparent historical defaults
Influent, treatment objective and assumption context

Development / planned capability

Activated sludge, MBR, reuse, aeration and residuals coverage under validation
Complete validated solver coverage is not claimed for every catalog process

Required inputs

Influent flow, BOD/COD, TSS, nutrients, temperature, targets, operating assumptions and MBR availability basis.

Main calculated outputs

Preliminary train context, process/MBR planning values, energy and residuals framing with visible assumptions.

Assumptions and defaults

Configuration breadth is separate from validated solver coverage; historical flux defaults are editable assumptions.

Known limitations

In Development. Not an OEM guarantee or complete released solver; ionic chemistry remains necessary for RO reuse evaluation.

INTEGRATION ROLE AND MATURITY

Progressive integration, clearly disclosed.

Designed to provide treated-effluent and sludge context; receiving applications retain their own physics.

Illustrative engineering capacity returned

6–18 h conceptual biological-treatment study

Illustrative planning assumption—not a measured customer outcome or guarantee. Actual time depends on project complexity, data quality, current tools, alternatives, review requirements and user experience.

Sample-report state

Biological process and MBR planning sample state: planned publication. Validated, sanitized sample artifacts are currently unavailable; publication is planned. No downloadable evidence is implied.

Bio process-family breadth and MBR maturity

Engineering-preview process families: MBBR, SBR, anaerobic treatment, anoxic/aerobic trains, clarifiers, nutrient removal, recycle/side-stream treatment, and sludge thickening/dewatering. Per-unit calculations remain at their disclosed maturity; this breadth is not a released performance guarantee.

Inputs and outputs: influent flow, BOD/COD/TSS, nutrients, temperature, objectives and operating basis produce a transparent train, treated-effluent, air/pump/cleaning quantities, sludge/residuals context and limitations. BOD/COD/TSS cannot infer ions for downstream RO.

MBR planning: editable gross-to-net flux, cycles/downtime, membrane area, N+1 trains, active versus installed area, operating/standby logic, modules/racks, offline peak flux, air, pumps and cleaning quantities are exposed. Downtime is represented in the available operating area so peak flux is not hidden by installed area.

Controlled handoffs: Pretreatment→Bio is engineering preview; Bio→RO/reuse is awaiting validation; Bio→Water Balance is engineering preview; sludge/residuals→ZLD is planned; Bio→Economics is planned. Activity ranges: 1–4 h basis/fractionation; 3–8 h train/mass balance; 3–8 h aeration/recycle/sludge; 3–7 h MBR planning; 2–5 h effluent/compliance/report; 6–18 h overall concept.
