Following a recent bankruptcy of MOSTforWATER on April 4th 2011, DHI has taken over selected assets from the estate - including all rights to WEST.
WEST is a powerful and user-friendly tool for dynamic modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment plants. The extensive state-of-the art model and process library of WEST allows users to model and evaluate almost any kind of modern wastewater treatment plant. WEST is specifically designed for engineers and professionals who want to simulate processes where physical, biological or chemical processes are interlinked to test different scenarios and to assess the treatment efficiency as well as operational cost.
DHI sees WEST as an important addition to the MIKE by DHI family – an addition which complements our product family in an important and growing market area.
DHI continues the on-going development of WEST as planned and will continue to offer WEST users high quality technical support and training similar to any other MIKE product.
The upcoming release of WEST is planned for October 2011 and will include significant new features and improvements, such as:
- Faster and more user-friendly interactive layout editing
- New model editor providing:
- Syntax-aware MSL model editing
- Gujer matrix editing
- Model library browser
- 5 new experiment types:
- Uncertainty Analysis
- Scenario Analysis
- Local Sensitivity Analysis
- Global Sensitivity Analysis
- Parameter Estimation
After the release in October 2011 WEST releases will be synchronized with the general MIKE release schedule, implying that the following release is scheduled for end of Q2 2012.
As the leading provider of advanced software tools for the industry DHI is convinced that WEST provides a valuable expansion to the MIKE by DHI product line to the benefit of both MIKE and WEST users who now can look forward to further integration and broader service offerings from DHI.
DHI will provide customer support and training for WEST users through its current global network of offices and network.
