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.

Download or read book Disinfection By product Formation in the Water Distribution System of Morehead Kentucky written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of the distribution system on water quality seems complex. Water demands and average residence times change continually, and chlorine residuals depend on these changing residence times as well as changes in temperature, pH, and organic matter characteristics caused by distribution system hydraulic dynamics. Furthermore, these changing physical/chemical conditions inherently affect the formation of regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs). The research focuses on a water distribution system in eastern Kentucky, which is fed by a 5 MGD conventional treatment plant. The field study was conducted in two phases. A 24-hour hydraulic field sampling event was performed to provide basic data for characterizing the system hydraulics and for understanding the kinetics of chlorine decay and DBP formation. A 48-hour water quality sampling event was conducted using the utility's four regulatory sampling locations, augmented by 15 locations designed to sample representative water from storage tanks, dead-ends, and different pipe materials and ages.

Download or read book The Formation and Decay of Disinfection By Products in the Distribution System written by American Water Works Association Researc and published by International Water Assn. This book was released on 2007 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most DBP studies conducted to date have focused on the formation and control of DBPs in treatment plants. They were conducted in bottles in the laboratory under controlled conditions. Little is known about the changes in DBPs in fullscale distribution systems. Also, information to date suggests that batch incubations in bottles may not accurately represent the DBPs in full-scale systems because of their inability to consider pipe walls and biofilms, spatial and temporal DBP variability within a system, and the dynamic nature of the system. Utilities were selected based on finished water characteristics, seasonal temperature changes, geographic location, type of final disinfectant, DBP concentrations, distribution system hydraulic model, and others. Two utilities used free chlorine as residual disinfectant, two utilities used chloramines, and one utility used chloramines with a yearly one-month switch to free chlorine. Within each system, sampling locations were selected based on water age, pipe material and diameter, and others. One system examined the effects of a storage reservoir and a booster chlorination station. Samples were collected six to eight times over a one-year period. In the system that periodically switches to free chlorine, two samplings were conducted before the switch, two samplings during the free chlorination period, and two samplings following the return to chloramines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is based on contributions from speakers who participated in May 2011 workshops on Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) and Human Health at Ozwater 11 in Adelaide, Australia or at an AWA sponsored workshop at the Curtin Water Quality Research Centre, Perth, Australia. The contributions are prepared to facilitate communication with practitioners, rather than researchers, making use of overview illustrations rather than dense text or data tables. Each chapter concludes with up to 5 key findings that are take-home messages for practitioners. Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is aimed specifically at drinking water professionals (engineers, chemists and public health professionals) working on the front lines of drinking water issues where they must encounter actual day-to-day issues of risk management concerning DBPs in relation to all the other regulatory and water quality issues they must manage. Although a topic this complex is certainly not amenable to simplistic explanations, this book aims to provide drinking water professionals with a pragmatic assessment of the current evidence and emerging issues concerning DBPs and public health. Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is an essential, practical and accessible guide for drinking water professionals, engineers, chemists and public health professionals. Editors: Steve E.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occurrence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water has been an issue of major concern during several decades. The formation of many DBPs species during water disinfection has been documented, while new by-products are still being detected, as the analytical instrumentation available becomes more accurate and sensitive. Most of the DBPs have been proven to have toxic effects on living organisms; therefore they pose risks to human health during drinking water consumption. The factors affecting their formation have been extensively investigated, their transport and fate have been studied, modelling efforts for several of them have been performed, in order to understand better their behaviour and therefore try to minimise their occurrence in waters. Techniques for their removal from water have also been applied, and a variety of disinfection methods or combinations of disinfecting agents have been investigated with the aim to produce safe drinking water containing the minimum possible concentrations of DBPs. This book deals with the advances in control of DBPs in drinking water systems. Further than an providing an overview of existing disinfection techniques and by-products, up-to-date information on the parameters affecting the procedures of DBPs formation, analytical methods for their determination, toxicity, regulation, it pays special emphasis on the advanced treatment methods applied recently for DBPs control and presents recent promising findings as well as case studies in this field, as the relevant research is proceeding, producing more knowledge and practical solutions in regard to the disinfected drinking water quality.

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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In recent years, polymeric materials have become the dominant type of material used for drinking water pipe distribution systems. They have some advantages over other types of pipes such as cast iron, ductile iron, concrete, and copper. There are also concerns on the effect of polymeric pipes on water quality. The effect of polymeric pipes on desalinated water is an area that has not been significantly investigated in previous studies. The UAE is predominantly using a desalination plant in order to provide the water for the residents and industries. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of the combination of polymeric pipes and desalinated water on the formation of a disinfection byproduct"--Abstract.
Download or read book Management of Disinfection Byproduct Production in Small Drinking Water Systems written by Lisa M. Wulff and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two groups of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) currently regulated in drinking water are trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). The objective of this research was to better understand how the water treatment processes employed at four smaller municipal water treatment utilities affects THM and HAA formation by measuring the removal of organic precursors through each major treatment process and by studying the concentrations formed as part of normal treatment and distribution. Major results of this study include the observation that significant organic DBP precursor removal generally only occurs in a single treatment process; sedimentation/ precipitation and activated carbon adsorption processes early in treatment were identified as most effective for the utilities studied in this research, with removals of 50-95%of incoming organic precursor material observed. The Missouri River utility examined in greater detail is also of interest because of periodic high incorporation of bromide present in source water; these bromine-substituted THMs are of additional concern due to their greater mass and potential human health risks. Conventional treatment was found ineffective at altering bromide incorporation into THMs, only decreasing available organic material. Both seasonal and long-term variations in bromine-substituted THMs were observed, with higher apparent bromide concentrations noted during periods of lower river flow rate. Bromide was also found in THMs at upstream Missouri River water utilities, indicating that many in the region could be affected by these changes over time.
