    Description

    The aim of this session consists in the creation of a discussion platform for researchers involved in the development and application of modelling and support tools for the integrated management and treatment of wastewater. The idea is not only to present the last trends in mechanistic plant-wide modelling and system analysis (e.g. local versus global sensitivity analysis techniques), but also to incorporate new techniques/tools such as intelligent decision support systems, soft computing, case-based reasoning, fuzzy control, qualitative reasoning, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, benchmarking, agents, etc. The session is open to new paradigms and technologies to support the integrated wastewater management and treatment, including aspects related to each sub-system of the integrated urban wastewater system on the one hand, and the interaction between the different sub-systems (sewer systems-wastewater treatment plants-receiving waters) on the other hand. Thus, this session will favour contributions extending the classical activated sludge approach, going further to cover modelling and support tools for innovative processes and alternative wastewater treatment technologies (e.g. MBR, SBR, Sharon-Anammox, granular biomass, anaerobic systems, biofilm reactors, resources recovery) and multi-criteria process design.
