作者已经证明，全尺寸水处理厂的建模可以实时提供有价值、实用和可靠的信息。目前，密歇根湖过滤厂（密歇根州大急流城）正在使用其混凝模型，该模型将建议的混凝剂剂量以及预期的沉降和过滤浊度告知工厂运营商。这大大增强了操作员快速响应水质变化的能力。 还开发了预测植物氯残留和消毒副产物（DBP）形成的模型。与配电系统水力模型相结合，这些模型将提供有关控制策略的重要信息，以尽量减少DBP的形成。本项目中使用的方法有可能模拟几乎任何工厂过程。包括9个参考文献、表格、图表。

Modeling of full-scale water treatment plants has been demonstrated by the authors to provide valuable, practical, and reliable information on a real-time basis. At the present time, the Lake Michigan Filtration Plant (Grand Rapids, MI) is employing its coagulation model that informs plant operators of the recommended coagulant dose, as well as anticipated settled and filtered turbidities. This greatly enhances operator abilities to quickly respond to changing water quality. Models that predict plant chlorine residuals and disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation have also been developed. Coupled with distribution system hydraulic models, these models will provide vital information on control strategies directed towards minimizing DBP formation. The methodology utilized in this project has the potential to simulate virtually any plant process. Includes 9 references, table, figures.
