Intended Audience

Academic institutions looking to augment their teaching of wastewater treatment concepts incorporating process modelling. The software comes with several dedicated lessons suitable for undergraduate/graduate supplemental material.

People wishing to become more familiar with concepts related to wastewater treatment modelling

People curious about how GPS-X^TM can be used to model wastewater treatment plants

Restrictions

As GPS-X^TM Lite is a simplified version of GPS-X^TM, it allows you to perform various activities, but there are several restrictions in place including:

• Limited to only the ASM1 model
• Limited number of unit processes with only one instance of each available unit process
• Inability to load and run layouts produced in full version of GPS-X^TM
• Limitations on some model parameters including the wastewater influent composition, and the physical parameters of the suspended growth and secondary clarifier model objects
• Deactivation of several advanced features in GPS-X^TM including the Optimizer, Sensitivity Analysis, and Process Control tools
• The duration of dynamic simulations must be less than 1-day
• Inability to produce reports of simulation results

The complete version of GPS-X^TM provides users with the most comprehensive suite of unit processes, comprehensive process models and advanced features to allow for advanced mathematical modeling, control, optimization and management of wastewater treatment plants.
