Long term pollution simulation in combined sewer networks

Abstract

This paper presents results of long term pollution simulations on the example of the sewerage system of Grand-Couronne. This modelling work is part of a study where objective is to develop a method to define the reference flow of a WWTP. The model HYDROWORKS DM has been successfully validated in hydraulics and pollution for the sewer network, for long time simulations. A conceptual model has been built to model the pollution in the tank at the outlet of the combined system. One synthetic year of rain has been used to simulate the working of the "up stream system" of the WWTP (combined sewer + tank + separate sewer + pre-treatments) and has been successfully validated by measurements of the 1998-1999 year. If this paper is focused on the "up stream system", the SIMBA/SIMBAD WWTP model has been successfully calibrated and validated too, and the combination represents a fully validated "Integrated Model" for the sewerage system.

Review of Urban Stormwater Quality Models: Deterministic, Stochastic, and Hybrid Approaches1

“…REVIEW OF URBAN STORMWATER QUALITY MODELS: DETERMINISTIC, STOCHASTIC, AND HYBRID APPROACHES Quality Modeling. Based on the studies cited above (Crabtree et al, 1994;Masse et al, 2001;Zug et al, 2001;Temprano et al, 2006), SWMM, Hydroworks and MOUSE are capable of providing reliable pollutographs (see Table 1). MOUSE is the only model that simulates microbial degradation and kinetics in the sewer system.…”

“…Selected Case Studies. Masse et al (2001) conducted event based and continuous modeling of a 239-hectare catchment in France. Simulated pollutographs were excellent for TSS, COD, and TKN, and very good for ammonium.…”

Combined Hydraulic and Black-Box Models for Flood Forecasting in Urban Drainage Systems

“…HYDROWORKS has been applied in several countries for different purposes ͑cf. Masse et al 2001;McIntyre 2003͒ and a detailed description of the model is given in HRWallingford ͑1997͒.…”
