Developing Efficient Testing and Unloading Procedures for a Local Sewage Holding Pit
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A local municipality has decided to build a sewage pit to receive residential sewage waste arriving by tank trucks. Daily accumulated waste are to be pumped to a nearby waste water treatment facility to be re-consumed for agricultural and construction projects. A discrete-event simulation model using Arena Software was constructed to assist in defining the capacity of the system in cubic meters, number of tank trucks to use the system, number of unload docks required, number of standby areas needed and manpower required for data collection at entrance checkpoint and truck tank load toxicity testing. The results of the model are statistically validated. Simulation turned out to be an excellent tool in the facility planning effort for the pit project, as it insured smooth flow lines of tank trucks load discharge and best utilization of facilities on site. Keywords—Discrete-event simulation, Facilities Planning, Layout, Pit, Sewage management.

In Iran, using the hand excavated pits (wells) have been more common compared to other countries. As a matter of fact, recent years, utilizing the dynamic probing test (DPT) in these types of pits has been significantly developed in Iran. This is while the standard state of doing this test is from the ground level. In this work, the dynamic probing test is carried out in two similar wells with ...
متن کاملAn Experimental Evaluation of PIT’s Mutation Operators
Mutation testing is a fault-finding software testing technique that creates mutants by injecting a syntactic change into the source code. This technique operates by evaluating the ability of a test suite to detect mutants, which is used to asses the quality of a test suite. The information from mutation testing can be used to improve the quality of a test suite by developing additional test cas...
