CWs for combined sewer overflow treatment (CSO CWs) are vertical flow filters with detention basin and fixedoutflow rate. They receive stochastic loadsinduced by urban runoff and protect natural waters against pollutants and streambed erosion.However, due to the stochastic nature of flows, concentrations and periodicity, optimizing CSO CW design requires a dynamic approach.Computational tools are available but process-based models are difficult to handle [1].Moreover, the absence of user interface in design-oriented tools (e.g. RSF_Sim [2]) demands manual data handling and simulations of multiple designs. Therefore, a new tool called Orage was developed. Orage relies on a core model similar to RSF_Sim.Long-term hydraulics, COD and NH4-N were simulated with good accuracy. Filter material selection and scaling is based on inflow data series and a low number of inputs. The iterative shell calls for simulations repeatedly to (1) optimize hydraulics; (2) select the simplest material which isnecessary to satisfy emission requirements on NH4-N and (3) determine the minimalfilter area at which legislative thresholds can be met. A design is optimized if the maximum of moving average on simulated effluent concentrations (Peak_MA_cc) is at the legislative threshold (NH4N) or below (COD). Fig. 1 shows an example of the iteration process.
