Measuring and modelling of particle settling in sewers and primary wastewater treatment

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to contribute to a better understanding of particle sedimentation in the primary treatment in order to propose strategies to optimize the system in terms of pollution removal. First of all though, a model needs to be built and calibrated, to make sure that it fits with reality. To finish with, a validation of the model needs to be carried out before starting to evaluate strategies that optimize the particle settling
