Initial Development Of Advanced, High-Rate Treatment Process For Wet Weather Flows, Paige Elyse Peters
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Billions of gallons of untreated water are discharged into lakes and rivers every year due to combined and sanitary sewer overflows during high-intensity precipitation events. Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) pose both environmental and public health risks due to potential human contact with contaminated water. To address the overflow issue, a novel, advanced, high-rate wet weather treatment process was investigated. The high-rate treatment process combined chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) with an advanced oxidation process (AOP) using ozone to rapidly remove total suspended solids (TSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), inactive E. coli, and oxidize the …

Improved Reliability Of Stormwater Detention Basin Performance Through Water Quality Data-Informed Real-Time Control, Sazzad Sharior
Master's Theses (2009 -)
The objective of stormwater detention basins is to capture stormwater runoff to reduce and delay peak flow and to improve the water quality. These objectives can be improved upon by actively controlling the outflow of the basins rather than traditional passive outflow structures. There are studies demonstrating the performance of the active controls that respond in real-time to basin hydraulics, detention time, and rainfall forecasts. We hypothesize that the performance of these active controls can be improved upon by incorporating real-time water quality data streams into the control algorithm. Furthermore, we hypothesize that performance of these active controls also depends …
