Read here the Frequently Asked Questions. If you are looking for a question you can't find, please contact us.

Who is MOSTforWATER? MOSTforWATER is a world-leading provider of consultancy and high-tech model-based software solutions for the optimization of water-related processes (such as wastewater treatment, river water quality, drinking water quality and water re-use).
 When was MOSTforWATER founded? MOSTforWATER was founded December 20th, 2006 and has the following shareholders: Ghent University, Baekeland Fund II, VINNOF, HEMMIS and key employees.
 What services does MOSTforWATER offer? MOSTforWATER provides model-based services for the optimization of wastewater treatment plants and integral water basin management (WWTP modeling - River modeling - Sewer modeling - IUWS modeling), based on the WESTŪ software. These services include the following:
- Modeling of water infrastructures, i.e. sewers, treatment plants, water re-use, drinking water production and rivers.
A modeling project will include the following steps:
- Step 1: Defining the goal
During this first step, a detailed overview is given on the principles of modeling and simulation of water related processes. Subsequently, the goal of the project is defined; in cooperation with the client.
- Step 2: Implementing the model
The model is implemented on the basis of the historical (and new) data, the plant layout, the different control implementations and a discussion with the operators.
- Step 3: Calibration
The model is calibrated with the determined accuracy so the goals of the project can be met.
- Step 4: Validation
The calibrated model is validated based on an independent data set, to confirm the validity of the model.
- Step 5: Reporting
The client receives a report of the project including the conclusions. The client can also receive the developed model of the system to further explore possible improvements of the system.
- Step 6: Closure
The final report is discussed with the client.
- Assistance in model building.
The client can be guided in all steps of the modeling process, i.e. set-up of a measurement campaign, set-up of the model, calibration of the model, set-up of scenarios, ...
- Setting up a model-based decision support system.
A model-based decision support system has a great added value for wastewater treatment operators and managers. Software linking the supervisory system and the simulation software is developed according to the client wishes.
- Training in the modeling of water infrastructures.
Training courses are organized on a regular basis. Custom training courses (basic or advanced) can be provided in the offices of MOSTforWATER or at the client's offices.
 Who do I contact for enquiry? Should you need information regarding WEST features (e.g. which functionalities are avaible in WEST), software configuration (e.g. what combination of WEST modules is most suitable for your objective), licensing (e.g. what is a WEST license, how long is it valid for, etc.), software installation, etc. please contact our Customer Support
