This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this research was to improve the filtration technologies to make them more sustainable and accessible. This study focused on developing improved operating methods for rapid sand filtration technology that would not require costly infrastructure upgrades to implement. Unlike previous filter media modifications conducted by other researchers, the filter media in this study was modified in situ. Process Controller software was used for automation of the test apparatus facilitating systematic variation of parameters and replication of results. Several different coagulants at varying dosages were applied by either downflow or upflow to modify a sand filter medium. Initially coagulants were added in downflow mode to the top of a 7.5 cm deep sand column prior to challenging the filter with an otherwise untreated kaolin suspension. Three coagulants, alum (Al2(SO4)3[BULLET]14H2O), ferric chloride (FeCl3), and polyaluminum chloride (PACl), were utilized separately to modify the sand filter medium. After modification of the filter medium, an initial particle removal of 96% was achieved by all coagulants versus 60% removal in the absence of pretreatment. Pretreatment with PACl and alum showed increasing particle removal with increasing dosage up to a maximum of 550 mmol Al/m2 after which filter performance declined. Pretreatment with FeCl3 increased particle removal over the entire range of dosages evaluated (70 to 2200 mmol Fe/m2) but headloss through FeCl3 treated filters became prohibitive at the highest dosage. Although downflow application of coagulant showed promise there was strong evidence that better performance and lower head loss would be possible if a more uniform application of the coagulant throughout the filter could be attained. Thus, a novel fluidized-bed pretreatment process was developed to modify the sand medium at the end of the backwash cycle of the filter. During backwash, a mixture of alum, base, and tap water were pumped into the filter upward from the bottom. The ensuing precipitation of Al(OH)3(am) in the filter pores enhanced the efficiency of turbidity removal from untreated raw water (up to 99.6%) without a substantial increase of head loss ([ALMOST EQUAL TO]14 cm). While pretreatment with Al(OH)3(am) was effective at enhancing particle removal, measurements of dissolved aluminum in the filter effluent showed that this process modification should only be considered for waters with circumneutral pH. At pH of 8 a pretreatment dosage of 16 mol Al/m3 resulted in effluent dissolved Al in excess of the EPA secondary drinking water standard of 0.05~0.2 mg/L. To clearly understand the fundamental aspects of the enhanced particle removal by fluidized-bed pretreatment with Al(OH)3(am), two alternative mechanisms were hypothesized: (1) Al(OH)3(am) coats the sand filter medium, and alters its porosity. (2) Precipitated Al(OH)3(am) embedded within the media pores acts as an additional filter medium that enhances the particle removal efficiency. Mathematical models for these two mechanisms were constructed and compared with experimental data for particle removal and head loss. Model predictions suggest that particle removal by the second mechanism, filtration through Al(OH)3(am) flocs, can account for the observed improvement of the filter performance.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this project was to determine differences in filter effluent water quality and media cleanliness between sand filters employing air scour and those employing surface wash. Discussed in detail are the findings that scour and surface wash systems performed similarly relative to filter effluent quality and filter cleanliness. The advantages of one system over another can be site-specific particularly in retrofit applications.

This book was released on 2006-03-31 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slow sand filtration is typically cited as being the first "engineered" process in drinking-water treatment. Proven modifications to the conventional slow sand filtration process, the awareness of induced biological activity in riverbank filtration systems, and the growth of oxidant-induced biological removals in more rapid-rate filters (e.g. biological activated carbon) demonstrate the renaissance of biofiltration as a treatment process that remains viable for both small, rural communities and major cities. Biofiltration is expected to become even more common in the future as efforts intensify to decrease the presence of disease-causing microorganisms and disinfection by-products in drinking water, to minimize microbial regrowth potential in distribution systems, and where operator skill levels are emphasized. Recent Progress in Slow Sand and Alternative Biofiltration Processes provides a state-of-the-art assessment on a variety of biofiltration systems from studies conducted around the world. The authors collectively represent a perspective from 23 countries and include academics, biofiltration system users, designers, and manufacturers. It provides an up-to-date perspective on the physical, chemical, biological, and operational factors affecting the performance of slow sand filtration (SSF), riverbank filtration (RBF), soil-aquifer treatment (SAT), and biological activated carbon (BAC) processes. The main themes are: comparable overviews of biofiltration systems; slow sand filtration process behavior, treatment performance and process developments; and alternative biofiltration process behaviors, treatment performances, and process developments.
Download or read book Assessment of Auxiliary Backwash Methods for Rapid Sand Filters written by Richard C. Pohlman and published by International Water Assn. This book was released on 2006 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An audit was performed in 1996 and 1998 at GCWW;s Richard Miller Treatment Plant (RMTP) to insure compliance with all current and proposed state and federal maximum contaminant levels. During the audit, training in filter profiling, including coring and floc retention analysis, was provided. Through these techniques, GCWW determined that the filter media was not getting effectively cleaned. Auxiliary backwash was recommended, but no experimental protocol was available to choose among available options. Four filters at RMTP were rebuilt for this study. New Leopold dual parallel lateral type block underdrains with integral media support (IMS) caps were installed. The sand media was completely replaced. Two filters were outfitted with air scour, one with surface wash and one was rebuilt with no auxiliary wash. The backwash procedures were then optimized and standardized before initiating the study. Turbidity and microbial testing were performed at various time intervals throughout the filter run to characterize the quality of the filter effluent. The magnitude and duration of the initial solids breakthrough were determined by the use of continuous turbidimeters and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Filter cores and floc retention analyses were used to determine the filter media cleanliness.
