A deterministic approach for optimization of booster disinfection placement and operation for a water distribution system in Beijing
Previous studies on booster disinfection optimization were commonly based on ‘blank networks’, neglecting the impact of existing disinfection facilities, which could result in misleading solutions. To overcome this limitation, a method, which incorporates the existing disinfection facilities, is developed and demonstrated in this study. A particle backtracking algorithm, which ...

Optimal use of chlorine in water distribution networks based on specific locations of booster chlorination: analyzing conditions in Mexico
Water distribution networks (WDNs) could present problems of pathogen intrusion that affect the health of consumers. One solution to diminish this risk is to add more disinfectant to the water at the drinking water treatment plant (DWTP). However, this increases the cost of water treatment and may also cause the formation of trihalomethanes. Mexico has the largest bottled water market in the ...

How to get accurate flow measurements despite flow disturbers
Flow meter accuracy is critical for process control but can be hampered by upstream and downstream flow disturbers. This problem may be addressed during the design process, though in some circumstances it’s impossible to eliminate disturbers. What Are Flow Disturbers? Anything that impedes flow upstream or downstream of a flow meter is a flow disturber. This includes piping ...
