Outline Introduction Particle settling velocity distribution (ViCAs protocol) Integrated model Results Conclusions
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions Integrated system RIVER This study Particlesettlingvelocity distribution model (PSVDM) CSO Transport TSS-settling TSS-settling Separation treatment Biological Treatment Storage TSS-settling WWTP TSS-settling SEWER TSS-settling
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions Objectives • Develop an integrated model based on sedimentation measurements • Reproduce the particle settling velocity distribution (PSVD) along the system
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions ViCAs Particle settling velocity distribution 68% Fraction of particle mass with a Vs lessthan (%) 1.6 m/h Settlingvelocity Vs (m/h) Chebbo and Gromaire (2009) – Journal of EnvironmentalEngineering
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions ViCAs Particle settling velocity distribution Class 5 Class 4 Fraction of particle mass with a Vs lessthan (%) Class 3 Class 2 Class 1 Vs1=0.03 Settlingvelocity Vs (m/h)
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions ViCAs PSVD and concentration Low TSS concentration Slow PSVD Fraction of particle mass with a Vs lessthan (%) High TSS concentration FastPSVD Settlingvelocity Vs (m/h)
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions Integrated systemInputs Fast PSVD WW Slow PSVD Fast PSVD DW Slow PSVD
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions Integrated systemOutputs Simulated PSVD compared with observed Simulated PSVD compared with observed
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions PSVD DW observation Observed PC outlet PC PC Differenthours Observed PC inlet 1.6 m/h
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions PSVDSimulation vs. observation Observed PC outlet PC PC PC outlet Differenthours Observed PC inlet PC inlet 1.6 m/h Maruéjouls et al. (2011) – Water Science & Technology
Results Intro ViCAs and Vs Integrated model Conclusions Conclusions Integrated model with particle classes, requiring only few ViCAs experiments Reproduces the PSVD evolution between RT and PC Particle transport through urban system is improved Many processes are simulated under DW and WW conditions: sedimentation, RT cleaning systems, pumping induced resuspension
