Joel Rife, Jacobs:
Hello Imre! I’m finally learning Sumo and it is WONDERFUL! It took me very little time to learn how to set up a run a model. I’ve already seen how the basic functionality is a huge improvement on other models and I’ve just scratched the surface. The transparency of the model is also a big improvement. The Influent Tool is a particularly cool, resulting in a highly “tailorable” influent fractionization in the model. I’ve noticed yield predictions to be a bit higher than other models; a good thing because I’ve found other models in many cases low compared to the data. I’m particularly excited that we finally have a secondary clarifier model that provides improved predictability of effluent TSS (no surprise there). In summary THANK YOU for this software and I look forward to many years of exploring all of its features and having fun with it! Joel
