Book excerpt: Current regulations on disinfectant residuals and disinfection by-products (DBP) limits in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), severely constrain the decisions that influence residual maintenance. However, there is a growing debate within the research and practice communities about real public health benefits of residual maintenance in DWDS. A different approach is to replace offline control design by automatic feedback controllers that continuously monitor and regulate in real time the ever changing water quality dynamics at few sensed network locations. Relying on such control scheme to maintain system water quality could bring great benefit not only when booster chlorination is used, since injections at remote locations are more likely to require automation, but also to conventional residual maintenance practice, when disinfectant is added only within the treatment plant. First, a design method is developed to identify optimal input/output (I/O) locations and to determine online control goals to be achieved at the sensor nodes. Application of the method to an example network shows that by using flow-paced booster stations, seasonal I/O dynamical changes can be managed by proper control inputs dynamics. Subsequently, an indirect model reference adaptive control algorithm is developed to regulate in real time sensor residual dynamics. Computer simulations based on water quality model illustrate the proposed adaptive control strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disinfectant residual maintenance has been always a concern to the utilities. Booster disinfection is a strategy that is being applied to add disinfectants at strategic locations throughout a water distribution system. A designer needs information about the network for the location and operation of booster stations. This thesis describes the development and investigation of a method that would be able to estimate and identify, with some degree of accuracy, minimum location of booster stations that are practicable for real distribution networks. The model formulation is related to a general facility location problem, which uses a branch and bound solution procedure. The design objectives considered are (1) minimize the number of booster stations and (2) maximize the uniformity of the residual demand in the network. The random inputs to the model are set of potential booster locations and desired residual demand for a given system. The design method is applied to a real distribution network. Results illustrationg the tradeoffs between the objectives suggest that to maintain a higher and uniform residual demand in the network, more number of booster stations are required. For varied input set of potential booster stations, different solution sets of optimal booster locations can achieve the same residual demand. The designer has to consider the extent of residual coverage that each booster station attains and the amount of overlapping influences that takes place between the operation of the booster stations. These tradeoffs are an important factor in the network design unless the cost is of limited concern.

Book excerpt: The goal of this project was to discuss the potential advantages associated with booster disinfection, the kinetics of chlorine decay and trihalomethane (THM) formation under rechlorination conditions, and the use of network hydraulic and water quality models to locate booster disinfection stations and determine their dose characteristics. The following are highlights from the research: A laboratory procedure was proposed for analyzing chlorine decay under simulated booster conditions. An initial set of experiments evaluated disinfectant decay under booster conditions, and found it to be dependent on both the magnitude and time of the boost dose. THM formation under booster conditions showed no long-term reduction for any set of results, indicating THM formation is not solely dependent on disinfectant concentration. In booster chloramination, boosting with chlorine appeared to be very successful at producing and maintaining a low ammonia concentration by recombining with the ammonia formed from chloramine decay. A second-order model, including a reaction component that represents natural organic matter, was developed to describe chlorine decay and THM formation under booster conditions. A method was developed to determine good locations and schedules for multiple booster doses by a systematic evaluation of alternative designs using network models. By exploring the disinfection decay kinetics under rechlorination, and developing methods for booster chlorination systems design, the project results will assist utilities and consultants in making better use of booster disinfection as a residual maintenance approach.

This book was released on 2007-01-22 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting and maintaining water distributions systems is crucial to ensuring high quality drinking water. Distribution systems-consisting of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances-carry drinking water from a centralized treatment plant or well supplies to consumers' taps. Spanning almost 1 million miles in the United States, distribution systems represent the vast majority of physical infrastructure for water supplies, and thus constitute the primary management challenge from both an operational and public health standpoint. Recent data on waterborne disease outbreaks suggest that distribution systems remain a source of contamination that has yet to be fully addressed. This report evaluates approaches for risk characterization and recent data, and it identifies a variety of strategies that could be considered to reduce the risks posed by water-quality deteriorating events in distribution systems. Particular attention is given to backflow events via cross connections, the potential for contamination of the distribution system during construction and repair activities, maintenance of storage facilities, and the role of premise plumbing in public health risk. The report also identifies advances in detection, monitoring and modeling, analytical methods, and research and development opportunities that will enable the water supply industry to further reduce risks associated with drinking water distribution systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Management Challenges in Global Change contains the proceedings of the 9th Computing and Control for the Water Industry (CCWI2007) and the Sustainable Urban Water Management (SUWM2007) conferences. The rationale behind these conferences is to improve the management of urban water systems through the development of computerbased methods. Issues such as economic globalisation, climate changes and water shortages call for a new approach to water systems management, which addresses the relevant technical, social and economic aspects. This collection represents the views of academic and industrial experts from a number of countries, who provide technical solutions to current water management problems and present a vision for addressing the global questions. The themes underlying many of the contributions include energy and material savings, water savings and the integration of different aspects of water management. The papers are grouped into three themes covering water distribution systems, sustainable urban water management and modelling of wastewater treatment plants. The water distribution topics cover asset and information management, planning, monitoring and control, hydraulic modelling of steady state and transients, water quality and treatment, demand and leakage management, optimisation, design and decision support systems, as well as reliability and security of water distribution systems. The sustainable urban water management topics include urban drainage systems, water reuse, social aspects of water management and also selected facets of water resources and irrigation. Computer control of wastewater treatment plants has been seen as less advanced than that of clean water systems. To address this imbalance, this book presents a number of modelling techniques developed specifically for these plants. Water Management Challenges in Global Change will prove to be invaluable to water and environmental engineering researchers and academics; managers, engineers and planners; and postgraduate students.

This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the events of 9/11, the Administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency created the Water Protection Task Force (WPTF), which identified water and wastewater systems as a major area of vulnerability to deliberate attack. The WPTF suggested that there are steps that can be taken to reduce these vulnerabilities and to make it as difficult as possible for potential saboteurs to succeed. The WPTF recommended that be scrutinized with renewed vigor to secure water and wastewater systems against these possible threats. It also recommended that water and wastewater systems have a response plan in place in the event an act of terrorism occurs. The WPTF identified water distribution networks as an area of special vulnerability and highlighted the need for rapid on-line detection methods that are accurate and have a wide detection range. As a result of these recommendations novel technologies from various fields of science and engineering are now addressing water security issues and water and wastewater utilities are looking for innovative solutions. Once such technologies are available, there will be a rapid implementation process that will present many business opportunities for the private sector. However, in addition to terrorist threats water and wastewater systems are inherently vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. This volume will address the problems associated with both intended terrorist attacks and natural disasters affecting water or wastewater systems. The book is divided into parts based on the kinds of threats facing water and wastewater systems: (1) a direct attack on water and wastewater infrastructure storage reservoirs, and distribution and collection networks; (2) a cyber attack disabling the functionality of the water and wastewater systems or taking over control of key components which might result in system failures; and (3) a deliberate chemical or biological contaminant injection at one of the water distribution system’s nodes. It will examine unique plans, technological and managerial innovations for protecting such systems, and includes descriptions of projects that were implemented to respond to natural disasters. Case studies are presented that discuss existing projects and evaluate their performance, with an emphasis on providing guidelines and techniques that can be implemented by water and wastewater planners and managers to deal with natural and manmade disasters should they occur.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newly promulgated Stage-2 Disinfectant and Disinfection By-Product (D/DBP) regulations force water utilities of all sizes to be more concerned with their finished and distributed water quality. Compliance for many small-scale utilities requires changes to their current operational strategy. However, these changes affect the formation of DBPs over time. This study is performed in an effort to examine and quantify the extent of change in DBP formation and chlorine decay kinetics under different operational conditions and pipe materials found at many small-scale water utilities. As a part of this study a physical model (Pipe Loop) of a distribution system was used to evaluate the change in water quality as a function of time under different operational conditions such as having a high chlorine dosage entering the distribution system, using a chlorine booster system in the distribution system, and operation of clearwells/storage tanks. It is determined that High Chlorine run is least optimal option with approximately 64% and 30% higher production of TTHMs when compared to Normal and Chlorine Booster run, respectively. It is also determined that High Chlorine conditions minimize the wall effects and the location of Boosters should always be after the storage systems to avoid extra contact time that can produce approximately 23-78% higher concentrations of TTHMs. In case of storage systems, it is statistically proven that storage time before entering the tank, mixing conditions and fillings cycles play an important role in maintaining water quality in the tanks.
