Client Testimonials2012Successful Calibration and Application of the Mantis2 Biological Model at a Full-scale Wastewater Treatment Plant“We developed a whole-plant process model for a large treatment plant in Pennsylvania with the new Mantis2 biological model on the GPS-X platform. The process included primary treatment, high purity oxygen activated sludge, secondary clarification, thickening, anaerobic digestion, dewatering, and advanced side-stream treatment. Two intensive sampling programs were carried out to render dynamic calibration and validation databases. It was clear that the new and more detailed influent characterization framework of the Mantis2 model coupled with the extensive array of dynamic state variables and process rate equations proved to represent both aerobic and anaerobic treatment performance extremely well. This helps establish the new Mantis2 biological model as one of the premier “Super Models” in the wastewater process modeling industry. In addition, the new multi-tabbed graphical interface of GPS-X Version 6 made tracking each interunit’s process performance a breeze. Over 20 ready-made process unit summary tabs and 40 dynamic graphs were created in a matter of minutes, while the excel-based reporting feature made simulation scenario documentation a snap.”
Kevin Frank, PE “GPS-X 6.1 is the best tool to model complex biochemical systems to confirm or enhance my intuition and gain process insight which might not have been readily obvious. It offers intuitive interfaces and an unmatched level of sophistication that reinforces my experience and has made me a better process analyst and designer.” Art K. Umble, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE “I just wanted to let you have some feedback on my use of GPS-X 6.1. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the mantis2 biological model. It’s been very easy to calibrate, particularly using the influent advisor. One of the features I like best is the standard report format in Excel. The ability to generate separate tabs for each graph and process is great – this is vastly superior to the Word output reports used by competing products.” Raymond D. Hamilton, PE, BCEE “GPS-X is one of the most powerful tools available in the marketplace and the only one that could accommodate our need for customized interfaces. We have simulated our two regional wastewater treatment facilities and one sub-regional facility with GPS-X. Both the software and the expertise from Hydromantis have offered tremendous help with our planning, process design, and plant operations.” Jing Luo, PhD, PE | ||
