The effect of material and flushing water type on urine scale formation
One of the important challenges with current sanitation practices is pipe blockage in urinals caused by urine scale formation. Urinal material and flushing water type are the two most important factors affecting scale formation. This paper examines the scale formation process on different materials which are commonly used in urinal manufacturing and exposed to different urine-based aqua ...

The efficiency of asset management strategies to reduce urban flood risk
In this study, three asset management strategies were compared with respect to their efficiency to reduce flood risk. Data from call centres at two municipalities were used to quantify urban flood risks associated with three causes of urban flooding: gully pot blockage, sewer pipe blockage and sewer overloading. The efficiency of three flood reduction strategies was assessed based on their effect ...

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 ...

Municipal sewer remote monitoring
Sewers are critical heavy duty infrastructure components requiring costly maintenance. Many municipalities suffer from ageing pipelines that pose higher chances of failure. Sewer leak or overflow results in high cost as a result of civil reimbursement and due to inflected illness. Moreover Civilian frustration that results form the overflow is often targeted towards the municipality. Overflow can ...

Multiple-fault detection in water pipelines using transient-based time-frequency analysis
Pipe faults, such as leakage and blockage, commonly exist in water pipeline systems. It is essential to identify and fix these failures appropriately in order to reduce the risk of water pollution and enhance the security of water supply. Recently, transient-based detection methods have been developed for their advantages of non-intrusion, efficiency and economics compared to traditional ...

Research of the performance of pulse electrohydrodynamics in blockage removal
In line with contemporary trends and seeking to develop new methods and technologies, a new, original technology was explored and designed based on a non-conventional process of electrical pulse discharge in a water chamber, referred to as ‘Pulse Electrohydrodynamic Technology’ (PELHYDT). The application of the PELHYDT in sewer blockage removal is presented in this paper. Existing machinery can ...

Rapid detection of sewer defects and blockages using acoustic-based instrumentation
Sewer flooding incidents in the UK are being increasingly associated with the presence of blockages. Blockages are difficult to deal with as although there are locations where they are more likely to occur, they do occur intermittently. In order to manage sewer blockage pro-actively sewer managers need to be able to identify the location of blockages promptly. Traditional closed-circuit ...

The treatment of sludge drying sewage
With the surge of sewage treatment capacity, the amount of sludge increases significantly. China's sludge is 38.2 million tons in 2015, 41.04 million tons in 2016 and is expected to exceed 50 million tons in 2020. Sludge is rich in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients, which has obvious utilization value. The high moisture content of sludge is the key to the ...

Pipeline Zooming for a Comprehensive Infrastructure Survey.
Time, budget and resources often keep a municipality from maintaining comprehensive, up-to-date information on water and sewer pipeline conditions. Without a complete understanding of their infrastructures, municipal supervisors cannot properly prioritize and schedule maintenance activities. As a result, emergencies—backups, collapses, and overflows—happen unexpectedly, and must be dealt with on ...
