Overview
Accurate
and rapid preliminary design and cost estimating for wastewater
treatment plant construction projects are a worldwide priority.
CapdetWorks is a preliminary design and costing program that
eliminates the need for spreadsheet-based design algorithms that can
be relatively inflexible and are often time-consuming to maintain.
The
activated sludge design algorithms in CapdetWorks are based on the
concepts of solids retention time and influent fractionation, and are
consistent with published activated sludge dynamic models such as
ASM1 and the algorithms published in Metcalf and Eddy (Wastewater
Engineering: Treatment and Reuse, 4th Edition), the Water Research
Commission (Theory, Design and Operation of Biological Nutrient
Removal Activated Sludge, 1984), and Wentzel et
al.
(Biological excess phosphorus removal – steady state process
design, 1990).
CapdetWorks
uses a unit costing approach with an extensive costing database that
accounts for the effects of inflation using cost indices. Our unit
costs are carefully researched based on discussions with
manufacturers, suppliers, and consultants.
Choose
CapdetWorks for all of your projects involving the preliminary design
and costing of wastewater treatment systems!
Announcing
the Release of CapdetWorks Version 2.5
Hydromantis
is committed to the continued growth of CapdetWorks, incorporating
the latest developments in wastewater process technology and model
development. We are pleased to announce the release of CapdetWorks
Version 2.5. New or updated features in Version 2.5 include:
Updated
Equipment Cost Database:
Extensive
research went into checking and obtaining updated costs for all of
the equipment and unit costs that are required when designing
wastewater treatment plants. Costs were obtained from suppliers and
manufacturers throughout North America and were cross-checked using
costing studies done by our own consulting group.
Reporting
Feature:
Version
2.5 has an updated reporting feature that allows users to export
costing data, layout schematics, and process data into three
different file formats, depending on the user's preference. The
report can be created as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, a Rich Text
Format document (which can be opened in most word processing programs
including Microsoft Word) or simply as plain text.
Parameter
Notes:
Forgotten
why you changed a particular parameter? Now you can record as much
information as you like right in the CapdetWorks layout. Each
parameter now has a “notes field” where you can record
and review information as needed.
Additional
Changes:
Many
of the design algorithms for the existing unit processes were
improved and updated, and the chemical specifications throughout the
program have been made more consistent and clear. Additionally, the
interface functionality has been updated to improve ease-of-use.
