Abstract

STOAT is a computer modelling tool designed to dynamically simulate the performance of WWTP. Modelling of integrated wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) using STOAT software proved to be extremely essential because it is time- and cost-effective. Furthermore, getting the overall picture for an entire system with relatively precise results, were quick responses for various scenarios are achieved. STOAT is used without any back-breaking tasks in contrast to laboratory experiments for predicting the effect of organic shock load. In this study, a model was built for a WWTP to predict organic sock load when doubled and how it would affect the plant. The results were extremely high and not acceptable when compared to the Egyptian environmental requirements. Therefore, another model was built to predict the exact percent of organic shock load that the plant can tolerate. The resulting data from the software proved the reliability of STOAT for modelling WWTPs. Consequently, improved effluent quality, reducing cost and the risk of consent failures.
