The use of process simulation models in virtual commissioning of process automation software in drinking water treatment plants

This research deals with the contribution of process simulation models to the factory acceptance test (FAT) of process automation (PA) software of drinking water treatment plants. Two test teams tested the same piece of modified PA-software. One team used an advanced virtual commissioning (AVC) system existing of PA-emulation and integrated...

Integration of drinking water treatment plant process models and emulated process automation software

The objective of this research is to limit the risks of fully automated operation of drinking water treatment plants and to improve their operation by using an integrated system of process models and emulated process automation software. This thesis contains the design of such an integrated system. The use of the system is investigated in the...
