The COST/IWA Benchmark Simulation Model No 1 (BSM1) has been available for almost a decade. Its primary purpose to create platform control strategy benchmarking of activated sludge processes. fact that the research work related benchmark simulation models resulted in more than 300 publications worldwide demonstrates interest and need such tools within community. Recent efforts IWA Task Group on “Benchmarking strategies WWTPs” have focused an extension model. This aims at facilitating...
This paper serves as a problem statement of the issues surrounding uncertainty in wastewater treatment modelling. The proposes structure for identifying sources introduced during each step an engineering project concerned with model-based design or optimisation system. It briefly references methods currently used to evaluate prediction accuracy and discusses relevance evaluations model applications. aims raise awareness initiate comprehensive discussion among professionals on issues. also...
Face masking proved essential to reduce transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections in indoor environments, but standards literature do not provide simple quantitative methods for quantifying air leakage at the face seal. This study reports an original method quantify outward how wearing style impacts on leaks filtration efficiency. The amount was evaluated four medical masks barrier coverings, exploiting a theoretical model instrumented dummy head range airflows between 30 160...
Three micronization techniques, based on the use of supercritical carbon dioxide, were investigated to produce microspheres a natural biocompatible polysaccharide. Particles smaller than 20 μm obtained by means rapid expansion solution method (RESS), both with and without cosolvents. The mean diameter particles was reduced about 0.5 when polymer in an organic solvent expanded using dioxide as antisolvent (SAS). SAS process operated continuous batch mode. former leads aggregated structures...
The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about a broader use masks by both professionals and general population. This resulted in severe worldwide shortage devices need to increase import activate production safe effective surgical at national level. In order support demand for testing Italian context, Universities provided their contribution setting up laboratories mask performance before releasing products into market. paper reports effort seven university who set facilities face...
The urban wastewater system components (sewer, treatment plant, and river) are often modelled using complex mechanistic models. Mechanistic surrogate models introduced here as simplified that still contain some physical knowledge. Surrogate faster, but less sufficiently accurate, require more data to be calibrated. possibilities of replacing actual field by virtual generated with a model for calibration the examined. As an example, series tanks variable volume is shown approximate well flow...
This paper discusses a methodology to estimate the costs and benefits of advanced control for wastewater treatment plants. The has been applied four plants, representing standard types plants built in Flanders, Belgium. outlines illustrated results from one design cases. General are shown contrasted with full-scale experience. appears give realistic will be used further refinement default algorithms certain A preliminary analysis indicates that on-line can become cost-effective plant sizes...
Six Italian non-accredited laboratories participated to an interlaboratory study aimed at measuring Differential Pressure (DP) and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of three face-mask models using methods in-line with EN 14683 standard. Methodological non-conformities were annotated. Repeatability reproducibility on quintuplicate samples calculated according ISO 5725-2. Sample stability was also assessed. Laboratories ranked the total standard deviation over all proficiency evaluated...
