Impact of Escherichia colifrom stormwater drainage on recreational water quality: an integrated monitoring and modelling of urban catchment, pipes and lake

Frédéric Charles Soulignac

In recent years, recreational waterbodies are increasingly favoured in urban areas. In spite of the growing concerns for maintaining the required bathing water quality, the impacts of stormwater drainage are still poorly controlled. In this context, this s ...

A combined hydrothermal gasification - solid oxide fuel cell system for sustainable production of algal biomass and energy

François Maréchal, Christian Ludwig, Jan Van Herle, Shivom Sharma, Hossein Madi, Eya Nicodeme

Hydrothermal gasification (HTG) is a promising technology that allows the recovery of nutrients from wet biomass with simultaneous production of an energy-rich gas. In this work, wastewater effluent (leachate) obtained from a composter sanitary system oper ...

Statistical comparison of the performance of data-based models for sewer condition modeling

José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

The present article proposes a methodology to consider the uncertainty intrinsic to data-based models when comparing their performance. The goal is to provide a quantification of the variability of this type of models due to the random nature of the calibr ...

A Tale of Two Treatments: The Multiple Barrier Approach to Removing Chemical Contaminants During Potable Water Reuse

Urs von Gunten

In response to water scarcity and an increased recognition of the risks associated with the presence of chemical contaminants, environmental engineers have developed advanced water treatment systems that are capable of converting municipal wastewater efflu ...

Two-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Bed-Load Transport of a Finite-Depth Sediment Layer: Applications to Channel Flushing

Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Numerical modeling of bed-load transport in shallow flows, particularly oriented toward environmental flows, is an active field of research. Nevertheless, other possible applications exist. In particular, bed-load transport phenomena are relevant in urban ...

Integrated stochastic modeling of pharmaceuticals in sewage networks

Sylvain Coutu, Timothée Noé Pouchon, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

Pharmaceuticals and particularly antibiotics can harm sensitive aquatic species. Their occurrence in urban wastewater systems is the consequence of five successive processes: (i) ingestion of the substance, (ii) accumulation in the urine, (iii) excretion, ...

A computational platform for integrated modelling of micropollution in the urban environment

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Timothée Noé Pouchon

Anthropogenic chemical contaminants are found routinely in our water resources. Although most of these compounds are usually present at low concentrations, they are of concern due to their ecotoxicity, antibacterial resistance and potential harm to human h ...

Parsimonious hydrological modeling of urban sewer and river catchments

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

A parsimonious model of flow capable of simulating flow in natural/engineered catchments and at WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) inlets was developed. The model considers three interacting, dynamic storages that account for transfer of water within the sy ...
