Opportunistic pathogens relative to physicochemical factors in water storage tanks.
Household water in Oman, as well as in other countries in the region, is stored in tanks placed on house roofs that can be subjected to physicochemical factors which can promote microbial growth, including pathogens and opportunistic pathogens which pose health risks. Water samples were collected from 30 houses in a heavily populated suburb of Muscat. The tanks used were either glass reinforced...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of large household water storage tanks for protecting the quality of drinking water.
Many communities along the US-Mexico border remain without infrastructure for water and sewage. Residents in these communities often collect and store their water in open 55-gallon drums. This study evaluated changes in drinking water quality resulting from an intervention that provided large closed water storage tanks (2,500-gallons) to individual homes lacking a piped water supply. After the ...
متن کاملImproving seismic performance of elevated cylindrical water storage tanks using nonlinear isolators incorporating liquid–structure interaction
Pervasive construction of elevated liquid tanks as the most important sources for urban hygienic water, and their failure under earthquake, highlighs the necessity for research toward new passive control devices. Design and use of base-isolation systems for elevated liquid tanks is propounded as a novel seismic engineering technology. To date, no special examination has been discussed in relati...
متن کاملIntroduction of Air Cushion to Reduce Seismic Demand in Cylindrical Water Storage Tanks
Water storage tanks not designed explicitly for seismic loading could require retrofit. One of the common ways of retrofit include some structural change in the lateral load resisting system that could be expensive and requires the tank to be out of service for relatively long time. This paper introduces a novel method to reduce seismic demand on tank’s wall without structural intervention. Thi...
متن کاملRunaway Prevention in Cumene Hydroperoxide Storage Tanks
In this work thermal runaway of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) in a storage tank with constant jacket temperature is considered. The divergence method developed by Strozzi and Zaldivar (1994) based on the concept of parametric sensitivity and a runaway criterion focused on a set of critical parameters identified by Velo et al. (1996) have been applied to our system. The results obtained from the co...
