Among others, drinking water belongs to the socalled critical infrastructures. To ensure that the water production meets current and future societal needs, a systematic and rigorous analysis is needed. In this paper, we report our first experience with dependability analysis of the last phase of a water treatment facility, namely the water distribution. We use the architectural language Arcade ...

Objectives : This study evaluated the effect of dosing yellow clay powder as a sedimentation aid when <i>Microcystis</i> sp. bloomed.Methods Pre-oxidation (chlorination and ozonation) treatment coagulation/precipitation experiments - laden source water were performed with jar-tester. Treatment efficiency was by analyzing turbidity particulate matter supernatant after according to pr...

background: electrocoagulation is a technique involving the electrolytic addition of coagulating metal ions directly from sacrificial electrodes. these ions coagulate with turbidity agents in the water, in a similar manner to the addition of coagulating chemicals such as alum and ferric chloride, and allow the easier removal of the pollutants. purpose of this study was to conduct experimental i...

Sewer systems that convey both sanitary sewage and storm water through a single pipe are referred to as combined sewer systems (CSSs). In dry weather, the CSS is able to convey all flows to the wastewater treatment facility. During periods of heavy rainfall, however, the capacity of the CSS may be exceeded and an untreated combination of sewage and storm water may discharged directly into a nea...

A preliminary study, which establishes the treatment methodology of liquid waste containing sludge and uranium in the lagoon of the conversion facility has been performed. Properties of the liquid waste such as initial water content, density and radiochemical composition were obtained by analyzing the samples taken from the lagoon. In order to minimize the secondary waste resulting from treatme...

Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility TMWRF is a 150,000 m3/day 40 mgd tertiary wastewater treatment facility that serves the cities of Reno and Sparks, Nev. The effluent from TMWRF is discharged into the Truckee River which flows to Pyramid Lake—a very sensitive ecosystem and habitat for endangered species. Reverse osmosis RO and nanofiltration NF , in conjunction with ultrafiltration UF ...
