Constructed wetlands for combined sewer overflow treatment (CSO CWs) are variably saturated vertical flow filters in France. The design-support software Orage aims to facilitate engineering work by optimizing filter area and material sitespecifically which was otherwise encumbered by the stochasticity of CSO flows and concentrations. The optimization process relies on measured or simulated CSO series and a low number of input parameters. The iterative shell calls the core model repetitively. During the process, effluent flows and concentrations are simulated from a range of CW domains and compared to legislative thresholds. The iterative shell was tested both with measured and simulated inflows. First, key parameters of the hydraulic optimization were fixed. Large and underscaled designs are excluded this way and succeeding optimizations for pollutant removal are more efficient. Then, the optimization functions were verified using inflow and available land from an existing CSO CW. At third, the automatizations were used to test model predictions in the function of legislative thresholds. Zeolite-enriched media ensures high NH4-N removal at hydraulic loads exceeding the recommendations of present guidelines, marking clogging as an issue for further research. In summary, the demonstrated simulation experiments verified the optimization approach of the dynamic design tool Orage.
