Standardising control systems for the water industry

چکیده
Industrial computer-based processors, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), have been developed to perform control functions and provide the operator with visual information to allow him to operate and control the plant. The PLCs are configurable, via specifically written software code, to perform a variety of control actions, and have the mathematical functionality required to control and monitor modern day processes. Indeed some of the interdependent processes would be diffi cult if not impossible to control by hand.

Earthen architecture, an alternative to construction industry to manage the drought crisis in Iran: Comparison between water usage in a building with three type of loading system: steel, concrete, and earth
Abstract: Iran faces water shortage crisis whilst construction industry consumes huge amount of water. There are not precise data about construction industry water consumption. Accordingly, lack of comparison as well as prioritization between prevalent structural systems and alternatives which probably use less water create problems in planning for less consumption. There are two questions whi...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Heat Exchanger Scales in Cooling Water Systems
An experimental database is compiled in order to fingerprint the scales formed over the hot surfaces of heat exchangers, in cooling water systems or other systems with similar chemistry. To collect these data, a dynamic simulating pilot plant was designed with considerable application flexibility among which simultaneous flow of water with different velocity and heat fluxes to three simulat...

Background & objectives: Hundreds of methods have been introduced to analyze various events. Hence one of the effective and principle steps in accident analysis is proper and targeted selection of accident analysis method. Traditional methods of accident analysis in complex industries are not comprehensive and examine each components of the system separately. So, the use of new systematic metho...
متن کاملOptimal Control Pressure for Leakage Minimization in Water Distribution Systems Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
One of the key factors affecting leakage in water distribution systems is network pressure management by putting Pressure Reduce Valves (PRV) in the flow path and optimal regulation of these vales in water networks. This study aimed at investigating optimal pressure management problems so as to minimize leakage in water distribution networks. To do so, an approach was proposed for both optimal ...
