A research team from the UCT Prague’s Department of Water Technology and Environmental engineering , in cooperation with corporate partners, has developed a new digital tool for automating operational and technological response measures for wastewater treatment plants (WTPs). This tool, Water Scan Toolbox (WST), is a cloud-based application that leverages predictive knowledge about the quantity and quality of incoming wastewater to assess WTP loads.
The tool has three pillars: a predictive model for assessing the quantity and quality of wastewater, a database of event scenarios for various operating conditions with an assumed WTP load, and a decision matrix for selecting operational and technological measures for various events. WST reduces operational risks, especially during periods of torrential rain, and increases the efficiency of water treatment by enabling WTPs to prepare in advance for such events.
