Innovative tracer methods for infiltration monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two innovative tracer methods for the quantification of parasitic discharge in sewers have been proposed as routine applications within the scope of the European research project APUSS (Assessing Infiltration and Exfiltration on the Performance of Urban Sewer Systems). In order to improve the accuracy of wastewater hydrograph separation compared to conventional practice, the novel approaches are using intrinsic physicochemical characteristics (stable isotopes, pollutographs) of the wastewater as a natural tracer for the differentiation of its constituting components. The article analyses the achieved state of development and demonstrates the application of the protocols with a comparative experimental study.

Use of Continuous Recording Water-Quality Monitoring Equipment for Conducting Water-Distribution System Tracer Tests: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
An emerging and innovative technology that is a possible alternative to manual sampling is the use of continuous recording water-quality monitoring equipment (CRWQME) for collecting multiple ion-specific tracer data. Advantages of using CR-WQME include the ability to record continuously water-quality events (including unplanned events) during a tracer test at small time intervals of 15 minutes ...
متن کاملTime-lapse electrical resistivity tomography of a water infiltration test on Johannishus Esker, Sweden
Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is an efficient way to remove organic matter from raw water and, at the same time, reduce temperature variation. Two MAR sites were constructed by Karlskrona municipality on Johannishus Esker in Sweden. One of these sites, Vång, was monitored for electrical conductivity and electrical resistivity (using electrical resistivity tomography ERT) during a 9-week tracer...

Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...
