Hydraulic characterization and transient response of pressure reducing valves: laboratory experiments

A pressure reducing valve (PRV) regulates the outlet pressure regardless of the fluctuating flow and varying inlet pressure, thereby reducing leakage and mitigating the stress on the downstream water distribution network (WDN). Notwithstanding the crucial importance of PRVs, few experimental data are available in the literature. The aim of this paper is to overcome this gap by means of the ...

A stochastic approach for extended partial blockage detection in viscoelastic pipelines: numerical and laboratory experiments

Partial blockages in water pipe networks may contribute to large energy dissipation throughout the system and reduce service effectiveness for customers. In this paper, a recently developed stochastic model using transients for detecting partial blockages in water pipelines is tested and numerical and experimental case studies are presented. The model is a stochastic successive linear estimator ...

Application of unidirectional flushing in water distribution pipes

In this study unidirectional flushing (UDF) was conducted to improve the effectiveness of deposit removal from internal pipe walls and to provide information on pipe networks to enable operators to implement flushing in field. Four ductile cast iron pipes with epoxy-lined and cement-lined were selected for the practice of UDF. Water pressure was measured using a data logger equipped with a ...

AquaLab Analyzer provides real-time phosphorus measurement in Everglades

When it comes to ecosystem sustainability, Florida is no backwater. The South Florida Water Management District, which includes the unique Everglades habitat, had a major challenge. The EPA and various governmental authorities have defined limits for many water quality parameters to support a water body’s designated use. Any physical, chemical or biological condition that threatens the designated ...

Experimental observation on factors affecting intrusion volumes during low or negative pressure events

External water intrusion during low or negative pressure transient events in urban water supply systems may cause pollution and health problems. The volume of intrusion pollutants is one of the significant indicators that can reflect the degree of health risks when a pollution incident occurs. A pilot-scale platform was constructed in this study to simulate intrusion events, which were caused ...

Stormwater Solids Reduction for NPDES Permits

Finally obtaining a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is often a relief but is by far not the end of the story. Meeting the requirements of that permit often proves to be quite difficult and stiff fines are freely doled out to those who fail to meet regulatory limits. For one Midwest jet propulsion manufacturing facility, the issue of total daily solids discharge ...

The development of cation-exchange chromatography in free amino acids analysis

Although it was not called a liquid chromatograph, the first such instrument was introduced in late 1959 by Beckman Instruments and was designated the M.S. Amino Acid Analyzer in honour of Moore and Stein. Inject valves had yet to be invented, the buffer switching valves were glass stopcocks and the column temperature was controlled by circulating water baths. Two positive displacement pumps ...
