Book Synopsis Optimal Real-time Control of Sewer Networks by : Magdalene Marinaki
Download or read book Optimal Real-time Control of Sewer Networks written by Magdalene Marinaki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sine qua non of control system development for modern sewer networks is the preservation of the water system around a network’s outflow(s). Several approaches have been proposed for the optimisation of sewage control and Optimal Real-time Control of Sewer Networks provides a comparative synthesis of a central sewer network flow control based on two of these: nonlinear-optimal and multivariable-feedback control. Testing and comparison of these protocols are made on the basis of their control results for the large-scale sewer network located around the river Obere Iller in Bavaria. The control strategies implemented within this network are based on this study. From the selection of possible methods of control and moving to the implementation of those methods in a real sewer system, this monograph will be invaluable to control and civil engineers working in sewage flow and wastewater treatment and of interest to academics wishing to see how their ideas on optimal control work out when practically applied.

Book Synopsis Assessing Infiltration and Exfiltration on the Performance of Urban Sewer Systems by : Bryan Ellis
Download or read book Assessing Infiltration and Exfiltration on the Performance of Urban Sewer Systems written by Bryan Ellis and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sewer systems constitute a very significant heritage in European cities. Their structural quality and functional efficiency are key parameters to guarantee the transfer of domestic and industrial wastewater to treatment plants without infiltration nor exfiltration. Infiltration of groundwater is particularly detrimental to treatment plant efficiency, while exfiltration of wastewater can lead to groundwater contamination. The European research project APUSS (Assessing infiltration and exfiltration on the Performance of Urban Sewer Systems) was devoted to sewer infiltration and exfiltration questions. It was structured in three main Work Areas dealing respectively with i) the development of new measurement methods based on tracer experiments and accounting for detailed uncertainty analyses, ii) the implementation of models and software tools to integrate structural and experimental data and to facilitate data display, operational management and decision-making processes and iii) the integration of economic and operational questions by means of cost estimation, economic evaluation, performance indicators and multi-criteria methods applied to investment/rehabilitation strategies. This final report describes the objectives, methods and main results for each Work Area. References to detailed methods, protocols, reports and tools are given in this final report which will be an invaluable source of information for all those concerned with the performance of urban sewer systems.
Book Synopsis Modelling Methods to Support Urban Sewer System Management by : Juan Pablo Rodriguez Sanchez
Download or read book Modelling Methods to Support Urban Sewer System Management written by Juan Pablo Rodriguez Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of developing countries, problems such as unplanned and unregulated urban developments, poor water quality in the water courses, lack of sanitation coverage and water treatment facilities, lack of institutional co-ordination, mismanagement of water resources, financial constraints, lack of wise expenditure on the required infrastructure, and a conventional fragmented wastewater management approach pose particular challenges. A sensible way forward in developing countries, which are initiating the building of treatment infrastructure, is to start integrated analysis and more efficient planning control measurements at an early stage. It is not feasible to build costly wastewater treatment plants which are not properly integrated to the sewer system and which are not solving the river pollution problems. As a part of integrated analysis, models can be used to gain better understanding of certain phenomena and to predict the spatial and temporal evolution of a system when looking towards an integrated management of urban drainage systems. Particularly, a key requirement for integrated sewer system models is data to quantify flows and pollution loads, ideally including uncertainty estimates. Because well-gauged systems are rare, particularly for large scale developing urban centres, there is a need for methods of synthesising these data sets. Furthermore, large urban centres also need appropriate modelling frameworks to support an optimised sewer system preventive maintenance scheme. The final goal is to determine a plan of action that achieves the best balance between proactive and reactive maintenance to minimize the overall cost of system operation. With this context as background and using Bogotá (Colombia) as main case study, this Thesis aims: (a) at an improved understanding of pollutant load contribution at the sewer sub-catchment level under dry weather conditions to be used to support the development of an appropriate modelling framework to assess and improve the interaction of the operation of the sewer system and the treatment facility; (b) to propose and critically assess a novel statistical model, supported by an exceptionally long and spatially detailed customer complaints data-base, to support proactive maintenance of the sewer system. This Thesis demonstrates the potential for using mixed deterministic/stochastic models to characterise ungauged sub-catchment outflows and water quality during dry weather. The novel contributions are a new empirical model for gauged and ungauged catchment applications, and the simultaneous inclusion of autocorrelations and cross-correlations for water quantity and quality determinants in the error model. Such models, if used to generate inputs to parsimonious sewer system models, can be useful to quantify discharges of untreated sewage into receiving watercourses, and their uncertainty, thus allowing these sources to be included in detailed dynamic river water quality models. Besides this, the impact of source control measures within the system can also be estimated. This is important, as source control is an essential complement to centralised wastewater treatment and stormwater storage. Additionally, it is also possible to quantify the transfer of pollutant loads from the wastewater system into the stormwater system due to wrong connections, thus helping water utilities with the prioritisation of corrective interventions. Furthermore, model-based research, using scientifically defensible tools such as the ones presented in this Thesis, is central to evaluating the performance of management practices such as proactive maintenance, water demand management and greywater recycling in Bogotá. Due to the wide scope of the aims of this Thesis, they reflect different but strongly interrelated areas in current need of further research. The contribution of this dissertation is, therefore, not only individual theses, but the recognition of the integrated application of advanced and state-of the art methods (i.e. models and analysis frameworks) to deal with different operational requirements in the context of large and complex sewer systems. More generally, the work also demonstrates the value of monitoring and modelling programmes, including having modellers actively involved in monitoring specification and operations.

The control and operation of sewer systems in real time is described, followed by a discussion of their maintenance and rehabilitation. Intelligent decision support systems for managing the urban drainage business process are presented. Audience: Researchers into sewer design, municipal engineers, planners and managers interested in an innovative approach to all aspects of the planning, design and operation of sewer systems.
Book Synopsis INTERURBA II Interactions Between Sewers, Treatment Plants and Receiving Waters by : J. Saldanha Matos
Download or read book INTERURBA II Interactions Between Sewers, Treatment Plants and Receiving Waters written by J. Saldanha Matos and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 2002-05-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade since the first INTERURBA conference (Wageningen 1992) the power of the integrated approach to address pollution control and the preservation or enhancement of receiving waters in urban areas has been ever more widely recognised. There have also been significant advances in understanding the interactions between urban drainage systems and sewage treatment plants and the influence of contaminants from different sources on receiving waters. New ideas have been developed, for instance, applying process models for receiving waters and sewer systems together with established models for wastewater treatment processes, and ecologically sustainable wastewater systems and best management practices for wastewater systems (sewer systems and receiving waters or soil). The objective of INTERURBA II was to bring together scientists and practising engineers from five continents, the leading figures in the areas of environmental management and control, to discuss the physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions within the urban water cycle, with the aim of reaching a common understanding, which in turn could lead to development of guidelines on the integrated management of sewers, treatment plants and receiving ecosystems. A significant number of papers gave special emphasis to one of the components within the integrated system, especially to the sewer. This issue contains a selection of 31 papers presented at INTERURBA II. They have been divided into the following four themes: in-sewer processes and effects on treatment plants and/or receiving waters; mathematical modelling of integrated systems; management practices of urban basins and sustainability of wastewater systems; and operation of sewer systems and treatment plants. Together they constitute a major step towards the consolidation of the new framework for urban water management.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the planning and design of urban drainage systems (URS) has long been the domain of civil engineers, it is only recently that information on the operation of these systems has been available. An increasing number of UDS are being equipped with sensors and data collection systems, and the data gained are being used to develop appropriate control systems to improve the use of existing systems and increase UDS performance to the maximum. In 1986 the IAWPRC/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Storm Drainage commissioned a group of engineers and scientists to study the technical developments in the field of real-time control of UDS. The result is this state-of-the-art report, an important reference for engineers planning new or refurbishing old UDS.
