The application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the prediction of removal efficiency of resorcinol in water environment using low-cost carbonaceous adsorbents such as rice husk ash was studied in the present investigation. The input data used for training of the ANN model include adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration, time of contact and pH. The various input variables were obtained in a laboratory experiment. The results obtained from ANN model for the prediction of resorcinol removal efficiency indicated that back-propagation ANN can be used for the modelling of batch adsorption kinetics.

  • Managing Metallic Pipeline Networks In A Sustainable Manner

    In North America, the material and size of pipes that make up water and sewer networks range widely. Because these pipeline systems are so complex, it requires a strategic approach based on risk and real data for effective long-term management.Historically, however, it has been challenging to gather real data that can shape defensive capital decisions for an entire system. The assessment of metallic pipelines — which make up most water and pressurized sewer networks — differs from prestressed concrete...

    The aim of this study was to determine the corrosion and scaling potential of water supply sources in a province in eastern Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 879 samples were taken to evaluate the water quality characteristics during 12 months (2013–2014). Five indices, Langelier, Ryznar, Puckorius, Larson–Skold, and Aggressiveness, were programmed in Microsoft Excel. The results illustrated that the values of the Langelier saturation index, Ryznar stability index, Puckorius scaling index, Larson ratio, and...

    This study investigates factors that influence the growth and diffusion of microorganism especially total coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) in water distribution networks. The experiments were carried out in a laboratory distribution network where different flow directions at junctions, varying inlet flow rates, initial chlorine doses and natural organic matter were studied. Depending on the incoming flow directions, two hydraulic behaviors were observed at cross junctions: (i) incomplete mixing and (ii)...

  • Optimization of hydrometric monitoring network in urban drainage systems using information theory

    Regular and continuous monitoring of urban runoff in both quality and quantity aspects is of great importance for controlling and managing surface runoff. Due to the considerable costs of establishing new gauges, optimization of the monitoring network is essential. This research proposes an approach for site selection of new discharge stations in urban areas, based on entropy theory in conjunction with multi-objective optimization tools and numerical models. The modeling framework provides an optimal trade-off...
