WP7: Models integration, simulator development

1. Fifth Framework Program Progress meeting Trondheim, June 20-21, 2002 WP7: Models integration, simulator development

2. Supplying a simulation tool integrating the results of thematic workpackages 1 to 6 WP7: Objectives Model integration Simulator development and Validation

3. Models integration Seek consistency between phase models for the different treatment ways. • The structure of the simulator has to cope with: • the matter characteristics necessary for models • the matter characteristics which are not used in the models • The interface must bring the models to life: • ask the good questions • in a language adapted • and give easy to use results

4. Work description: the different tasks • Task 1: Design of the simulator structure • Task 2: Model implementation for each channel • Task 3: Check for consistency both on available experimental • and on theoretical data • Task 4: Definition of parameter estimation methods • Task 5: Description of sampling and analytical procedure • Task 6: Development of methods for parameter adjustment • Task 7: Consolidation between channels

5. WP7 Deliverables • Documented models for predicting material and energy balance for all channels. • Documented models and databases for economic balancecalculation. • Software allowing the simulation of all possibleorganisation of solid waste management. • Methodology, use and limits of the software; Report generation options for different types of end-user. D25 D26 D27 D28

6. Design a simulator structure Task 1 WP7 WP1 MFA levels • Flowsheet • Streams • Nodes • Phases model • Phases (physical) • Criteria and/or combinationof several criteria(size classes, components,substances,…) Waste matrix

7. Phase model: integration of waste matrices Task 1

8. Design a simulator structure (continued) Task 1 WP8, WP9 • Streams description • Flowrates • Grades • Equipment description • Parameters for each model of unit operation • Performances • Sizes • Operating conditions • Others Scenario definition WP2 to 6 Models

9. Library of models and workshops Task 1 Parameters • Two types of use for models: • Sizing • Optimisation • Input • Flowrates • Sizes, • Categories, • Metals • etc.. Unit operation MODEL Output (s) • System operation • Costs • Feed stream description • Equipment configuration Steady-state simulator

10. Example of Landfill model Task 1

11. Flowsheet drawing: integration of system definition Task 1 • System definition • 1 Level • Models or Workshops To another level Progress Meeting - Trondheim

12. Collection workshop Task 1

13. Simulation results Task 1 • Streams characteristic • Output parameters of the models • End-users information easily useable files • compilation of the whole of the parameters and of the data Œ  Ž The need: Development of specific and convivial interfaces (in progress in coordination with the steering committee) Deliverable D28

14. Two simulation methods Task 1 • Direct simulation: prediction of streams, knowing input data and parameters of the models • Reverse simulation: adjustment of the parameters of the models so that the model predict existing situation Process 1 Process 3 Process 2 Process 4 Process 1 Supplied data: Calculated data: Process 3 Process 2 Process 4

15. Supervisor of the simulation Task 1 • Aim: • To achieve global objectives permitting variation for some of parameters Supplied data: Calculated data: Process 1 Plastic < 2mm Process 3 Process 2 Process 4

16. Model implementation Task 2 • In direct relation with WPs 4 to 6 • (cf. had hoc presentations) • Technical meetings with WP’s leaders: • Specification of the • biological • thermal • Sorting, collection, transport • Development of two models in progress: • Collection/transport (in coordination with USTUTT). • Landfill. • Meeting planed with WP3 in July • Economical models. models

17. Check for consistency... Task 3 • Depending of the other workpackages results: • Models specifications • Models parameters • Real starting with the case studies (WP9): • Available data are known for the three cities. • They will be supplemented by default values if needed (waste matrix). ...both on available experimental and on theoretical data

18. 3 tasks gathered in only one Tasks 4 to 6 Aim: To define methods to use the models: - procedures for parameters estimation - set the limits of parameters values - give an idea on the quality of model’s predictions according to the input data Deliverables D25 and D26

19. Main difficulty • Integration = light on water: • transfer from WP 1 to 6 • a part may be reflected • a part may be absorbed

20. Conclusion • The structure of the simulator will allow to integrate most of the R&D work, • A preliminary version will be available for the case studies, • WP8 has started to: • explain the tool to non-project members, • take into account the needs expressed by the steering committee
