As a result of increased environmental awareness and interest in the effective protection
of the environment from pollution, the restrictions have increased on the disposal of
wastewater, and the need to the treatment plants has arisen to treat the
wastewater prior to
disposal in water bodies, whether water from either large or small communities. As a result of
the importance of these facilities and cost of material massive construction, operation and
maintenance. In order to facilitate the design process and calculate the initial cost it was issued
some software that helps engineer in the design of the various parts of the station, and in order
to choose the equipments and comparison between several alternatives in objective ways to
choose the most appropriate. Some of these programs are dynamics. It has the ability to
simulate the work of the treatment plant along the time and predict its efficiency and
performance. STOAT is a software that aims to model and simulate wastewater and industrial
wastewater treatment plant, and it is one of the newest technology that uses the latest
developments in process modelling, simulation and a wide range of tools that simplifies the
model building and simulation and give the results in graphics and tables, allowing us to
examine the complex interactions between the various units within the station by interactive
and dynamic methods and this is important for the effective design, operation and management
of wastewater treatment plants. Hence, we take the coastal area as a case study where there are
number of modern wastewater treatment plants of small agglomeration and is being work, as
Kherbet al-Maaze wastewater treatment plant in Tartous. Using STOAT, the study shows a
good efficiency and performance of Kherbet al-Maaze WWTP using (ASM1,ASAL1) models,
and we could build several scenarios like arrival of high pollution load to the station in order to
evaluate and predict its performance.
This paper describes a general model of photovoltaic module. It can be used in all studies and researches
that focus on photovoltaic generator. The main advantage of this model is in using the general
specification of the module which is included in the datasheet.
Soil water erosion is one of the most important factors of soil
degradation. Soil erosion is a process that causes loss of big
amounts of nutrients and organic matter from the topsoil layer and
pollutes the surface water bodies. The USDA- WEPP (Wa
ter
Erosion Prediction Project erosion model) represents a new
generation technology for estimating soil loss by water erosion and
sediment delivery from hillslopes and small watersheds. The main
purpose of this study was evaluating the capability of WEPP model.
The research
discusses roads rehabilitation using foamed bitumen,which is a
relatively new method and hasn’t been used in Syria yet due to the
lack of the needed labrotory equipments ,and that’s why the main
aim of the research is to develop a mo
del to stimulate the labrotory
experiments needed to evaluate the performance of the rehabilitated
pavement (surface deflection – strain ). The model was developed
using the finite elements method with the help of ABAQUS
modelling software.
