Virtual Modeling of Wastewater Treatment Complex for Plating Lines
In order to solve the problem of automated design of wastewater treatment complexes for plating lines, we have adapted the technology of automated design of complex technological systems that simultaneously take into account: representation of the problems set for design of wastewater treatment complexes as a single system using the theory of complex systems and the presence of a single information base; comprehensive evaluation (based on economic and technological estimates) of design solutions; and also provides an increase of information processing intellectualization, significant reduction in time and cost of design. Approbation of the technology is made on the example of the complex for wastewater treatment line of an electroplating production department with the return of purified water (~95%) to perform washing operations on the plating lines and with the discharge of purified to maximum permissible contaminants concentrations water (up to ~5%) down to the drainage system. A virtual model of the complex allows evaluating the advantages of the designed complex for wastewater plating lines. Among its advantages we can list: using of modern materials, structures, components and reagents; shortening of treatment time as there is no gap between preparation and the process itself; optimal degree of purification, where the residual concentrations of contaminated components in purified water, which is used for washing operation on the electroplating lines, does not exceed the maximum permissible values.
