#Wwtp design software software

So just like the gradual shift from the horse-drawn carriage to the modern motor car, more advanced tools are now increasingly replacing the use of spreadsheets as people begin to appreciate their potential. Nowadays, however, ever more versatile, sophisticated and accommodating options for designing and managing plants are being developed. Twenty years ago, the more sophisticated CAE (computer-aided engineering) tools for designing and optimizing wastewater treatment plants were expensive, difficult to use and almost exclusively used by universities and research centres. There was a time, not so long ago, when just about everyone was using spreadsheets as a tool for designing and managing their WWTP.

You can, however, still access the software by signing up for the online practical course WWTP Modelling and Simulation (ASM1), for which there is a small charge.

Since this article was written, unfortunately, the LynxASM1 software is no longer available as a free download.
