Aqua Designer - Version 9.2 -WWTP Design Software
AQUA DESIGNER is the planning software for dimensioning all treatment stages of a wastewater treatment plant, from pre-treatment to biology and sludge treatment. You can choose from the usual practical variants in terms of design approach, process and construction. Planning is supported by many additional functions. As a result, AQUA DESIGNER provides comprehensive documentation for the approvable design with structures, machines, operating costs and true-to-scale drawings, as well as detailed information on load cases, oxygen yield value, sink line, pipework or mass and buoyancy calculations. AQUA DESIGNER is used worldwide for the planning of new plants and for the expansion and modernisation of existing wastewater treatment plants. The application is available in many different languages.
Version AQUA DESIGNER 9.1 now available with Flow Chart, Machine / Messure List and Membrane Reactor Plants DWA-M 227
The application is available in eleven different languages.
One of the special characteristics of AQUA DESIGNER is the consistently guidance of the user by a flow diagram. From the first sight you can see the current processing status, the selected way of design or process and the possible alternatives.
Variation of Process and Construction
- Aerated grit and grease chamber or circulated grit chamber
- Primary settling tank as rectangle tank or circular tank
- Aeration tank as a combinational, compact, rectangle or circulation tank
- Continuous flow through aeration tank or sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
- Clarifier as a round, rectangle or cone tank
- Thickener
- Sludge digestion as aerobic treatment and aerobic stabilization
Options for Design
- Plan a new plant
- Calculate or evaluate the economic efficiency based onoperational costs, mass and oxygen efficiency (SAE)
- Check existing plants (or parts of them) and include them in your calculation
- Dimension several lines
- Direct comparison of calculation methods
- Accomplish fast calculation
- Pipe, mass and lifting calculation

Cleaning Methods
- Carbon degradation
- Nitrification
- Denitrification: upstream, intermittent, combined, simultaneous or cascade
- External P precipitation
- Carbon dosage
Biological Stage and Aeration
Basis for dimensioning of the biological stage are different ATV-guidelines (A 126,A 131, M 210 etc.) and work reports, the university algorithm and extensive technical literature.
- Different forms of tanks
- Different kinds of cleaning processes
- Scraper or suction remover
- Horicontal axis or membranes as disc or tubular aerators, dentrifugal or screw pumps as well as air lift pumps
- Load variation with variation of temperature, solid matter (MLSS) and loading
- Determining oxygen income value
Sludge Treatment
With the sludge treatment (according to nach DWA-M 368) an important component of the planning of treatment plants has been integrated in AQUA DESIGNER.
- Dimensioning of primary settling tank and gravity thickening
- Anaerobic digestion with production of gas, current and heat
- load and quantity balance of supernatant and sludge
- Consideration of internal cycles
- Extension of the operation costs function by the yield of the use of digester gas
As printout you get a detailed and clear documentation of the calculation. The computing formulars are shown, so the calculaion method is comprehensibly. In this printout you also find detailed information like load variation, oxygen efficiency, sedimentation lines, mass evaluation or buoyancy and a list of the operational costs.
