| Sumario: | Background & Aims: Software used in the design and control of wastewater treatment processes has solved many design problems for engineers and researchers. These models are effective in analyzing conditions and improving process performance. Moreover, the software is used to control and predict the design conditions, as well as make the desired changes. There is much software available, and suitable software can be selected based on the needs and goals of each study. Articles related to the study were identified by reviewing the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords "Wastewater Treatment", "Modeling", and "Simulation Software." This review study examined published articles on AQUASIM, BIOWIN, GPS-X, SIMBA, STOAT, WEST, and SUMO software, highlighting their features and functionalities. Moreover, key aspects, such as software cost, open-source availability, and functional capabilities, were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of the software The study showed that the goals of using simulation software include optimizing and controlling the processes of existing systems, designing new systems, and gaining a better understanding of the process performance.
