A Holistic Process Model For Evaluating Alternative Biosolids Technologies And Operational Methodologies To Improve Performance And Sustainable Decision-Making At High Purity Oxygen Wastewater Treatment Plants, Manuel E. Moncholi
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the span of the last decade the regulatory, public and commercial sentiments in Florida towards wastewater biological sludges, termed biosolids, have resulted in more restrictive land application rules, public cynicism about quality and agricultural benefits, and defensive posturing and marketing to appease public opinion. To determine and recommend the most cost effective and sustainable combination of biosolids treatment technologies to achieve Class B biosolids at the MDWASD facilities, the author created a holistic process model that is novel in the realm of wastewater treatment.
The research methodology focused on the analyses of historical data, analyses of pilot-testing data, development …

This thesis investigates the effectiveness of Low Impact Development Infrastructure (LIDI) and Green Infrastructure (GI) in reducing flooding resulting from heavy rainfall events and sea-level rise, and in improving stormwater quality in the City of Miami Beach (CMB). InfoSWMM was used to simulate the 5, 10, and 100-year, 24-hour storm events, total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loadings, and in evaluating the potential of selected LIDI and GI solutions in North Shore neighborhood.
Post-development results revealed a decrease of 48%, 46%, and 39% in runoff, a decrease of 57%, 60%, and 62% in …

The Effects Of Frequent Atmospheric Events And Hydrologic Infrastructure On Flow Characterization In Tims Branch And Its Major Tributary, Sc, Mohammed Albassam
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Hydrological models are powerful tools used to predict water systems behavior such as flow and water level characteristics for rivers and streams. In this research, a fully dynamic 1-D model was developed using the MIKE 11 model for a specific stream called A-014, this stream is in the Savannah River Site (SRS), SC.
A field study was conducted in order to collect data needed as inputs for the model development. Data like water velocity and cross-section measurement played a major role in understanding the behavior of the A-014 and the validation of our model.
Results showed a correlation capable to …
