Wastewater Collection System Modeling


Book Description

Wastewater collection systems, among the oldest features of urban infrastructure, are typically dedicated to collect and transport wastewater from users to water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). Since the 1970s, wastewater engineers and scientists have come to understand that wastewater collection systems can bring benefits for urban water and energy networks, including thermal energy recovery and converting pipelines to bioreactors. However, there is little knowledge about the temporal and spatial changes of collection systems parameters that are important for these applications. Furthermore, the vast majority of existing studies of these applications have focused on laboratory or extremely small-scale systems; there have been few studies about beneficial applications associated with large-scale systems. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how urban wastewater collection systems can bring potential benefits to urban water and energy systems. Models describing wastewater hydraulics, temperature, and water quality can provide valuable information to help evaluate thermal energy recovery and wastewater pretreatment feasibility. These kinds of models, and supporting data from a case study, were used in this study; sizes of the theoretical wastewater collection systems range from 2.6 L/s to 52 L/s, and the sample locations of the case study had flows ranging from 2.3 L/s to 24.5 L/s. A cost-benefit analysis of wastewater source heat pumps was used to evaluate the thermal energy recovery feasibility for different sizes of wastewater collection systems. Results show that the large collection system can support a large capacity heat pump system with a relatively low unit initial cost. Small collection systems have a slightly lower unit operating cost due to the relatively high wastewater temperature. When the heat pump system capacity design was based on the average available energy from the collection system, larger systems have lower payback times; the lowest payback time is about 3.5 years. The wastewater quality model was used to describe the dissolved oxygen (DO) and organic matter concentrations changes in the collection system. The model provides a framework for predicting pretreatment capability. Model results show that DO concentration is the limiting parameter for organic matter removal. Larger collection systems can provide more organic matter removal because they provide relatively longer retention times, and they offer the potential for greater DO reaeration. The model can also be used to identify environmental conditions in sewer pipelines, providing information for potential issues predication.

Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models


Book Description

Mathematical modelling of activated sludge systems is used widely for plant design, optimisation, training, controller design and research. The quality of simulation studies varies depending on the project objectives, finances and expertise available. Consideration has to be given to the model accuracy and the amount of time required carrying out a simulation study to produce the desired accuracy. Inconsistent approaches and insufficient documentation make quality assessment and comparison of simulation results difficult or almost impossible. A general framework for the application of activated sludge models is needed in order to overcome these obstacles. The genesis of the Good Modelling Practice (GMP) Task Group lies in a workshop held at the 4th IWA World Water Congress in Marrakech, Morocco where members of research groups active in wastewater treatment modelling came together to develop plans to synthesize the best practices of modellers from all over the world. The most cited protocols were included in the work, amongst others from: HSG (Hochschulgruppe), STOWA, BIOMATH and WERF. The goal of the group is to set up an internationally accepted framework to deal with the ASM type models in practice. This framework shall make modelling more straightforward and systematic to use especially for practitioners and consultants. Additionally, it shall help to define quality levels for simulation results, a procedure to assess this quality and to assist in the proper use of the models. The framework will describe a methodology for goal-oriented application of activated sludge models demonstrated by means of a concise guideline about the procedure of a simulation study and some illustrative case studies. The case studies shall give examples for the required data quality and quantity and the effort for calibration/validation with respect to a defined goal. The final report will include an extended appendix with additional information and details of methodologies. Additional features in Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models include a chapter on modelling industrial wastewater, an overview on the history, current practice and future of activated sludge modelling and several explanatory case studies. It can be used as an introductory book to learn about Good Modelling Practice (GMP) in activated sludge modelling and will be of special interest for process engineers who have no prior knowledge of modelling or for lecturers who need a textbook for their students. The STR can also be used as a modelling reference book and includes an extended appendix with additional information and details of methodologies. Scientific and Technical Report No. 22
