On Thursday May, 16th, after the end of the conference, you are invited to take part in two workshops to be held at the Escola Superior de Tecnologia i Ciències Experimentals of the Universitat Jaume I, located in Castellón de la Plana.
The address is: Avinguda de Vicent Sos Baynat, s/n, 12006 Castelló de la Plana, Castelló, Spain.
To get there, you have two options: take a cab for a journey of around 15 minutes, or opt for the bus. Here are two bus routes to get there.
If you prefer to take a cab, you can contact an available cab company to arrange your journey : just here.
The first route involves taking the L14 bus, then the T1.
The second route involves taking the L13 bus, then the T1.
WORKSHOP 1: Applications of virtual tracers to the CFD modeling of WWTPs: a practical approach with ANSYS
Date:
Thursday May 16th, 2024
Contributors:
Group of Multiphase Flow (Universitat Jaume I) and HYDRENS : Raúl Martínez, Delia Trifi, Jaume Luis, José Vilarroig, Javier Climent, Pablo Carratalá and Rosario Arnau
Location:
Informatics Room TD0130AI,
Escola Superior de Tecnologies Ciències Experimentals,
Universitat Jaume I, Castelló
About the workshop:
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in scientific production related to modelling applied to wastewater treatment processes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques, from basic research, through engineering design, even process optimization.
This workshop will provide a brief introduction to the theoretical background underlying CFD and its application to several industrial applications. Special focus will be made for the use of tracers in wastewater treatment plants. Three case studies will be presented, and the assistants will be able to analyze them using the software package ANSYS-CFX:
1.Troubleshooting mixing conditions through virtual tracer techniques:
Analysis of different design alternatives of a biological reactor inlet chamber using virtual tracers to achieve a suitable distribution of the inlet flow.
2. UV disinfection with closed reactors:
Study on flow reactor size and water quality on the UV disinfection in tertiary treatment.
3.Air quality at indoors and the ventilation system performance
Evaluation of ventilation strategies to control the pollutant gas releases of industrial processes.
Target audience:
The workshop will be customized to serve a broad spectrum of participants, encompassing both academics and practitioners from various domains such as process and chemical engineering, consulting, plant management, and administration. Their interests and objectives may range from implementing streamlined and efficient practices in design and operations to enhancing their understanding of plant reactors and the combined use of CFD and tracers for their analysis.

WORKSHOP 2: How hydrodynamics and layout of reactors influence the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) curves
A comprehensive course using DTS-Pro software. Following by a presentation of aRisTiD, the new RTD software.
Date:
Thursday May 16th, 2024
Contributors:
Olivier Potier, LRGP-CNRS-Université de Lorraine
Location:
Informatics Room TD0130AI,
Escola Superior de Tecnologies Ciències Experimentals,
Universitat Jaume I, Castelló
About the workshop:
The workshop is divided in three parts.
1.Introduction
We’ll start with an introduction to tracing and Residence Time Distribution method.
2. Training of the use of DTS-Pro software
It will allow to identify systemic models from experimental RTD curves. People will learn the main functions of the software.
3. Simulations
During the third and main part of the workshop, people will use the software to make about fifteen simulations, allowing them to understand the influence of reactor layouts on RTD curves.
Finally, people will realize they became able to qualitatively analyze experimental RTD curves and elaborate first models of studied reactors.
