Trade Waste Compound Detection and Sewer Process Modelling Using Online, In-situ Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sydney Water Corporation has deployed on-line instruments in a three year study of trade waste sites in wastewater networks. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether target substances could be isolated from the background chemical matrix via online measurements, including online UV-Vis spectroscopy. Several substances were identified and calibrations developed from the spectral data to detect them, including a robust phenol calibration and an alarm function which can detect the presence of a number of volatile hydrocarbons. The use of several conventional electrodes alongside the spectral component also allowed for in-situ mapping and modelling of several key wastewater-quality processes.

Integrated Modelling: Comparison of State Variables, Processes and Parameters in Sewer and Waste Water Treatment Models
All the parts of an urban drainage system, i.e. the sewer system, the waste water treatment plant (WWTP) and the river, should be integrated into one single model to assess the performance of the overall system and for the development of design and control strategies assisting in its sustainable and cost effective management. Existing models for the individual components of the system have to b...

The sewer layout in flat areas significantly influences the construction and operational costs as well as reliability of the network performance. To find an optimum design of sewer networks for flat areas, this study presents a multi-objective optimization problem with the objective functions of 1- the cost and 2- the reliability. The reliability criterion is defined as the effect of a clogging...
