Optical sensors for fluorescence of chlorophyll a (f-Chl a) and phycocyanin (f-PC) are increasingly used as proxy biomass algae cyanobacteria, respectively. They provide measurements at high-frequency modest cost. These require site-specific calibration due to range interferences. Light intensity affects the yield cyanobacteria through light harvesting regulation mechanisms, but is often neglected potential source error in-situ f-Chl f-PC measurements. We hypothesised that diel variations...
Developments in technology and data analytics bring opportunities for water utilities to proactively adapt their practices better manage pressing challenges, such as losses, ageing assets, urban scarcity due climate change. Despite the increase commercial digital technologies monitoring water, wastewater stormwater systems, transformation has been occurring much slower than other businesses (e.g., energy sector). Leveraging from Australian best practices, this study aims facilitate utility's...
Abstract The objective of this study was to identify correlations between environmental variables and cyanobacterial diversity, succession dominance in three Australian water supply reservoirs. We assessed up 15 years in-lake quality monitoring data from Lake Wivenhoe Tingalpa (Queensland), Myponga (South Australia). Lakes Tingalpa, subject a subtropical climate, had higher richness than temperate South Australia. Richness the lakes positively correlated ( P < 0.05) with total...
Abstract Hybrid constructed wetlands composed by vertical flow wetland (VFCW) followed horizontal subsurface (HFCW) are a wastewater treatment technology employed worldwide. However, there few studies of their application in Brazil. Treatment performance is not achieved directly after the start operation and may change according to external conditions over time. This paper evaluated VFCW–HFCW hybrid system applied treat urban southern Brazil during first 70 operational weeks. The was...
An elevated concentration of manganese (Mn) in lakes is a common water quality problem faced by many utilities. Thermal stratification natural phenomenon that influences the Mn and can exacerbate accumulation surface without external loading sources. While several treatment methods be utilized to treat drinking plants, in-lake control mechanisms proactive efficient strategy for reducing complexities costs. Despite previous research pointing benefits control, feasibility effectiveness various...
Este artigo apresenta o desempenho de remoção poluentes promovido por um wetland construído vertical fundo saturado (WCV-FS), empregado no tratamento esgoto sanitário, ao longo 21 meses operação e monitoramento. O WCV-FS (7,5 m² área superficial) possui uma profundidade 75 cm, com os últimos 40 cm saturados esgoto, areia como material filtrante plantado Typha domingensis. A alimentação foi realizada forma intermitente (4 pulsos d-1), regime hidráulico baseado em ciclos repouso 3,5 dias na...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de remoção poluentes um sistema híbrido, composto por wetland construído fluxo subsuperficial vertical descendente (WCVD) seguido horizontal (WCH), empregado no tratamento esgoto sanitário. A partir das eficiências registradas ao longo primeiras 70 semanas operação, avaliou-se a aptidão lançamento do efluente tratado conforme normativas legais âmbito nacional e estadual. híbrido apresentou elevada DQO, SST, N-NH4+ P-PO43-, na ordem superior...
Harmful cyanobacteria blooms are a major concern for water managers worldwide because they have negative environmental, social and economic impacts.This study aimed to evaluate removal performance quality by electroflotation using titanium electrodes as pre-treatment in treatment plants (WTPs).Water quality, toxicity, cyanobacterial cell integrity cyanotoxin analysis were performed.An experimental design was carried out determine the optimum operational parameters (OOP) removal.The...
O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar a hidrodinâmica e o desempenho de um wetland construído fluxo horizontal (WCH) componente sistema híbrido, empregado no tratamento esgoto sanitário localizado em Florianópolis/SC, sul do Brasil. híbrido (composto por módulo vertical descendente – WCVD, seguido WCH) operou sob uma carga orgânica média afluente 40 g DQO m-2.d-1, sendo que WCH 4.4 m-².d-1 (considerando-se área superficial), alcançando remoções termos cargas 1.5 m-2.d-1 ou 71% eficiência, 0.3...
