Dynamita SUMO v24.0.1 is a specialized, dynamic simulation software platform for the design, optimization, and troubleshooting of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Based on the widely accepted ASM/ADM family of models, SUMO allows environmental engineers, plant operators, and researchers to create accurate digital twins of biological treatment processes (like activated sludge, nutrient removal) and anaerobic digesters. By simulating plant behavior under realistic, time-varying conditions (changing flow, concentration, temperature), SUMO helps users improve treatment performance, increase energy efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and make informed decisions about plant upgrades and control strategies.

(H2) Core Functional Capabilities of SUMO v24.0.1

• Dynamic Process Modeling with ASM/ADM Frameworks
  Build mechanistic models of biological wastewater treatment. Use the industry-standard Activated Sludge Models (ASM1, ASM2d, ASM3) and Anaerobic Digestion Models (ADM1) to represent complex microbial transformations of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Configure plant layouts with a library of unit processes (reactors, clarifiers, pumps, etc.).

• Scenario Analysis & Plant Optimization
  Test "what-if" scenarios without disrupting real operations. Simulate the impact of process changes (e.g., internal recycle rates, aeration control, chemical dosing), influent variations (storm events, industrial discharges), or planned expansions to identify optimal operating points for energy savings and effluent quality.

• Advanced Control Strategy Development & Testing
  Design and validate advanced process control algorithms. The software is a perfect testbed for implementing and fine-tuning control strategies for aeration, carbon dosing, or sludge wasting before deploying them in the actual plant, reducing risk and improving stability.

• Troubleshooting & Capacity Assessment
  Diagnose operational problems and assess plant capacity. Use the model to understand the root cause of issues like sludge bulking, poor nitrification, or permit excursions. Evaluate whether an existing plant can handle increased loadings or stricter effluent limits.
