in some instances, it is inevitable that large amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals like chlorine gas are stored and used in facilities in densely populated areas. in such cases, all safety issues must be carefully considered. to reach this goal, it is important to have accurate information concerning chlorine gas behaviors and how it is dispersed in dense urban areas. furthermore, mainta...

the treatment facility of albourz industrial city was established in 1999 at the southeast of albourz mountain with an area of 200,000 square meters. currently, 40,000 cubic meters of industrial wastes are treated daily utilizing biological method of activated sludge up to the second phase without chlorination in this treatment facility. then, the discharged wastes are directed toward the lower...

background & aims of the study: drinking polluted water can transmit diseases, so potable water treatment is one of the most challenging and complex systems in countries. continuous monitoring for evaluation process in water treatment plant is important. this study aims to investigate performance evaluation of qom water treatment plant to remove turbidity and coliform in 2005 - 2014. materials ...

This paper presents the concept of integrated knowledge-based and simulationbased supervisory control for process facilities. Linked to a common SCADA system, such knowledge-based decision procedure, which includes process simulation, assists the operator and facility engineer in operating the facility. The functional chain, which begins with operator knowledge acquisition and moves to knowledg...

Cellulosilyticum sp. strain I15G10I2 was isolated from a coal seam gas water treatment pond at the Spring Gully water treatment facility, Roma, Queensland, Australia. Analysis of the genome of 4,489,861 bp and G+C content of 35.23% revealed that strain I15G10I2 shared limited similarity to members of the genus Cellulosilyticum, family Lachnospiraceae.

For a long time, the only acceptable treatment for a white phosphorous burn was to keep it covered with water until a physician extracted the phosphorous. When the water dried up or ran-off, contact with air caused the burn to re-ignite. This is a serious problem, especially under battle conditions where water may by scarce or non-existent, and the ability to remove the victim quickly to a trea...

This investigation studies desalination powered by wind and solar energy, including a study of a configuration using PVT solar panels. First, a water treatment was developed to estimate the power requirement for brackish groundwater reverse-osmosis (BWRO) desalination. Next, an energy model was designed to (1) size a wind farm based on this power requirement and (2) size a solar farm to preheat...
