Download or read book Microbial Quality of Water Supply in Distribution Systems written by Edwin E. Geldreich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden problems, buried deep in the pipe networks of water distribution systems, are very serious potential threats to water quality. Microbial Quality of Water Supply in Distribution Systems outlines the processes and issues related to the degradation of water quality upon passage through networks of pipes, storage reservoirs, and standpipes on its way to the consumer. The risks associated with biofilm accumulation, bacteria, and other contaminants are discussed in great detail. In addition to its excellent microbiological coverage of organisms in drinking water and biofilms in distribution systems, Microbial Quality of Water Supply in Distribution Systems provides clear treatments of the technical and public communication issues most commonly affecting the quality of water and water supply systems. The inclusion of numerous case histories in this new book makes it a complete reference source for anyone concerned with water quality and water distribution systems.
Download or read book Impact of Microbial Iron Reduction on Reservoir Souring During Waterflooding written by Mohammed Alsaffar and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water-injection is widely practiced in petroleum reservoirs to improve oil recovery, maintain reservoir pressure and re-inject produced water. This practice can lead to microbial reservoir souring, which generates hydrogen sulfide via sulfate-reducing bacteria. Hydrogen sulfide adversely impacts the health and safety of employees, reduces oil quality and thus demands more processing requirements, corrodes pipeline and facilities, and plugs permeable formations. Reservoir souring costs the industry millions of dollars annually.Laboratory experiments that have been made to study microbial souring mechanisms and growth, while published mathematical models simulate and forecast the souring process. In spite of the diverse microbial communities in oil reservoirs, current studies have been limited to selective microbes that mostly include sulfate-reducers and nitrate-reducers. One of the processes that has not yet been considered is microbial iron reduction. Current reservoir souring studies narrow the impact of iron minerals to the adsorption of hydrogen sulfide, namely through abiotic reactions to precipitate iron sulfides. Studies show that ferric iron can exist as iron oxides in natural systems within clay minerals and coating grains, a fraction of which would be bio-available for microbial reduction.In this research, we have utilized the published results of microbial experiments conducted in upflow porous reactors to comprehend microbial processes and growth parameters. We used CrunchFlow, a reactive transport model, to simulate those processes in seawater injection for 1D homogeneous media at various ferric iron concentrations, and 2D heterogeneous media where ferric iron distribution was correlated with permeability reduction. Random heterogeneous fields were generated using a Fast Fourier Transform simulator at differing correlation lengths and Dykstra- Parson coefficients.iiiiv The analysis of microbial experiments by simulation indicate that microbial iron reductioninhibits sulfate reduction, imposing a delay on microbial souring by several pore volumes injected after seawater breakthrough. The results also show that higher concentrations of bio-available ferric iron would impose further delay on the microbial souring process in oil reservoirs. Formations with higher heterogeneity experience earlier hydrogen sulfide breakthrough than those that are more homogenous. In more heterogeneous reservoirs, the microbial reductions of sulfate and ferric iron are more isolated from one another than in homogenous reservoirs. Sulfate reduction prevails in permeable formations, while ferric iron reduction is limited to tight formations in which there are higher concentrations of iron minerals.Our research demonstrates the benefits of understanding potential microbial iron reduction and ferric iron bio-availability in oil fields. This knowledge will enhance the prediction and forecast regarding biogenic hydrogen sulfide breakthrough, leading to improvements in the field and further developments.

These cover physical, chemical and biological phenomena, remote sensing and the use of modelling to establish the most efficient strategy for water quality sampling. In the third, on reservoir water quality management, the potential available in fish population management for biomanipulation of reservoir water quality is introduced. Also included is a valuable section on a wide range of water quality measures, coming from the well-known Czech Hydrobiological Laboratory. Finally the editors summarise the present state of reservoir limnology. This book will be of interest to hydrobiologists and aquatic ecologists, reservoir and sanitary engineers, fisheries officers, postgraduate teaching, and the water industry dealing with drinking water supply and will provide insight into regulated rivers. It draws information from all over the world and is relevant to the whole world.

This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been more than ten years since the last edition of the bestselling Restoration and Management of Lakes and Reservoirs. In that time, lake and reservoir management and restoration technologies have evolved and an enhanced version of this standard resource is long overdue. Completely revised and updated, the third edition continues the tradition of providing comprehensive coverage of the chemical, physical, and biological processes of eutrophication and its control. The authors describe the eutrophication process, outline methods for developing a pre-management and restoration diagnosis-feasibility study, and provide detailed descriptions of scientifically sound management and restoration methods. See what’s new in the Third Edition: • New chapters on aquatic plant ecology and management • Emphasis on freshwater availability • A regional framework for water quality attainment • Methods of lake and reservoir restoration and management • Updates or revisions to all other chapters The book features in-depth discussions of techniques used to manage eutrophication in standing water bodies, procedures for using these techniques, the principles involved, and successes and failures through a selection of case studies and cost analyses. Each chapter includes an introduction to the scientific basis of the problem, a description of the methods and procedures, and presents several case histories. Potential negative impacts and costs, where known, are described. A useful classroom text, reference manual, and general guide, this is the text against which all other resources in this field are measured.
