Assessing the metabolic potential of phototrophic communities in surface water environments: Fludioxonil as a model compound
Differences are often apparent in the observed rates of degradation between laboratory water‐sediment studies and outdoor studies in surface water environments. Indeed, previous work has shown that including phototrophic communities in laboratory systems can result in the enhancement of degradation, when compared against systems that exclude phototrophs, incubated in darkness. In ...

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 ...

Research paper: Algae control with ultrasound in a WTP
Algal blooms are a form of pollution that can harm water quality and increase operating costs at treatment plants due to the presence of toxic algae. These toxins are complex, odorless, and resistant to sterilization. To meet legal requirements and optimize costs, it is essential to control algal growth in treatment plants using surface water for drinking. One solution for controlling algae is ...

High performance of nitrogen and phosphorus removal in an electrolysis-integrated biofilter
A novel electrolysis-integrated biofilter system was developed in this study to evaluate the intensified removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from contaminated water. Two laboratory-scale biofilter systems were established, one with electrolysis (E-BF) and one without electrolysis (BF) as control. The dynamics of intensified nitrogen and phosphorus removal and the changes of inflow and outflow ...

LIMS Essential for H2O Testing
Clean water is a global necessity - essential to our health and well being. Just imagine a day without clean water to drink, to prepare our food, to wash the daily grind from our clothes and bodies. There’s a lot of science behind clean water and a laboratory information management system (LIMS) is a critical component of the sample management, data capture and analysis that is necessary ...

Drinking Water Analysis Guide
Public Water Systems (PWS), regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), provide drinking water to 90% of Americans. Water systems and laboratories testing drinking water for Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) compliance must be certified and must use USEPA approved methods, which are developed by the USEPA, other government agencies, universities, consensus method ...

Selection of food combinations to optimize survival, growth, and reproduction of the amphipod Hyalella azteca in static‐renewal, water‐only laboratory exposures
While standardized sediment toxicity testing methods have been developed for the amphipod Hyalella azteca, no standardized chronic water‐only toxicity testing methods have been established. Furthermore, optimal feeding and water quality conditions for culturing and toxicity testing with this species remained unclear. Our objective was to determine the food or combination of foods that best ...

How Does a Laboratory Automation Needs Assessment Benefit Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Implementation and Operation?
Many laboratories may have the expertise to translate manual processes and laboratory automation requirements into a detailed specification document for all of the system requirements, features and functions of a LIMS. However, that may not be the best utilization of their resources. In addition, this can be labor intensive and the laboratory personnel may be too close to the project and may not ...

Experimental characterization of PVC-O pipes for transient modeling
The increasing use of plastic materials has modified several aspects of design and management of water distribution systems. With reference to the numerical modeling of transients, the definition of a correct rheological model of the pipe material is receiving an increasing interest. In this paper the behavior of the molecularly oriented polyvinyl chloride (PVC-O) pipes during transients is ...

Transient tests for locating and sizing illegal branches in pipe systems
In pipe systems illegal branches can take away remarkable water resources with negative effects from both the economic and technical points of view. Difficulties in pointing out illegal branches by means of steady-state pressure and discharge measurements are mainly due to the fact that, of course, such systems are not active according to a regular time schedule. In this paper the possibility of ...
