Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back Virtual Simulation of Environmental Monitoring in Analytical Studies of Water Treatment Processes Bessarabov A.M., Averina Ju.M., Verhososova A.I., Vasilenko V.A., Lobanov V.Yu. A virtual model of a water treatment laboratory has been developed, which includes the following groups of components: analytical instruments, specialized equipment and furniture. The virtual models were created using the open-source Blender software. Research and practical work were carried out on the basis of one of the leading scientific and production associations of low-tonnage chemistry – GC EKOS-1, which provided access to modern equipment and up-to-date production data. The created models cover two types of equipment: devices for operational control based on express analysis methods, and stationary devices used in laboratory conditions. The developed virtual models include key instruments of the analytical laboratory – an oxygen meter, a luminometer, a pH meter, a spectrophotometer and an IR spectrometer. To improve the quality of interactive visualization and achieve maximum realism, the virtual laboratory model was imported into the Unreal Engine. This made it possible to create a highly detailed and functional environment that accurately reproduces real-world operating conditions.
