Dynamita folks reunited in SW France during the last week of April. It was great to meet each other again and greet our soon-to-be colleague, Sabrina (announcement to come later). Lots of fun, great food, some kayaking on the Lake of Arjuzanx, a lovely stroll in Bordeaux and crawling atop the great sand dune of Pilat made sure we don't get stranded behind our computers, still we made good progress work-wise as well.

As a result of that, Sumo 22.1 became available for download. For details about the changes in this release, please check out the What’s new in Sumo 22.1 document. This install will replace your existing 22.0 but can coexist with earlier versions (21, 19).

After the first ever and best ever WRRmod conference in Africa in Cape Town, and recognizing the challenges African universities and startups face, Dynamita is pleased to announce the following support package:

To any university accredited and located in Africa - we are pleased to provide free unlimited perpetual licenses for the Sumo process simulation package including Digital Twin capabilities.

Any one- or two-person startup from Africa can claim a one year license of Sumo free of charge in their first year of operation.

This program will stand (at least) for the next ten years, until 2033.

Our hope is that this will result in cleaner environment and less bottled water in Africa. Free and Open source!

WRRmod2022+ is soon to start in Stellenbosch, South Africa. We are proud platinum sponsors of this event and wish all participants to enjoy and benefit from the interesting programme. Dynamita is going to be represented in person by Daniel, Dwight and Imre - feel free to have a chat with us at the conference venue.

As 2022 is slowly coming to an end, the Sumo mascot gets cheeky forming snow angels, while the Dynamita Team is preparing to take a refreshing break as well, wishing you Happy Holidays and a delightful 2023.

Stay tuned, we are about to come back with exciting new developments early next year!

We have great news for those who have been eagerly anticipating the release of Sumo 22! Several months of ambitious development by the entire Dynamita Team brought a range of exciting new features to the package (for details, please check out the What’s new in Sumo 22 document). Now it’s your turn: download , install and experience the latest advancements in wastewater process modeling!

And last but not least, let us also invite you to the new Dynamita Sumo Wiki , the home of the complete and continuously updated documentation about Sumo.

We would like to draw your attention to the growing set of mini-tutorial videos for Sumo on the Dynamita YouTube channel, which are also directly accessible on the Docs tab of this website.

This is in addition to a few longer webinars we already had up there. If you would like to get automatically notified about subsequent content, please subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Another busy year passed by with lots of exciting new experiences (and a long-awaited release).

Now it's time to slow down a little before diving into 2022. Wishing you Happy Holidays and a bright and prosperous New Year!

The Dynamita Team

The new edition of Sumo is here, packed with numerous exciting new features and innovation (for details, please see the What’s new in Sumo 21 document). We had lots of fun developing the newest reference point of wastewater process modeling, so don't hesitate and check out Sumo 21 for yourself. Bet you'll love it!

And by the way, we have a new webpage, too.

Dynamita just got featured among the top France-based startups in the environmental engineering industry. Nice to receive such acknowledgment for our work aiming to innovate the world of process modeling. Keep an eye out, the story just begins to unfold....

We had the pleasure of providing the first training with the new and shiny SUMO 21, which is very close to officially take wings and bring new dimensions to the process modeling community.

Let us share some of the feedback we received from the participants:

• “I want to thank you and Dynamita for an excellent training program! Choke full of great info…”
• “The training is really fantastic, which includes volume knowledge requiring deeper digestion in the following days…”
• “Dynamita’s openness is fantastic, I am confident we made the right choice to come onboard.”

Opinions like these inspire us to push the limits further…

We'll have an interactive online training coming up in December about modeling in practice with SUMO. For details, see the attached flyer .
