Summary

This study validates an integrated model for sewerage systems, simulating long-term pollution and defining wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) reference flow. The HYDROWORKS DM and SIMBA/SIMBAD models accurately predict pollution in combined sewer systems.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Hydraulic Engineering
  • Wastewater Management

Background:

  • Sewerage systems require accurate pollution simulation for effective wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operation.
  • Defining reference flow for WWTPs is crucial for optimizing treatment processes.
  • Long-term pollution dynamics in urban drainage systems present significant modeling challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an integrated model for simulating long-term pollution in a combined sewer system.
  • To establish a method for defining the reference flow of a WWTP.
  • To assess the performance of the upstream sewerage system, including combined sewers, tanks, and pre-treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the HYDROWORKS DM model for validated hydraulic and pollution simulations of the sewer network.

  • Developed a conceptual model to simulate pollution within a tank at the combined system outlet.
  • Employed a synthetic rainfall year to model the upstream system and validated with 1998-1999 measurements.
  • Calibrated and validated the SIMBA/SIMBAD WWTP model for a comprehensive integrated model.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully validated the HYDROWORKS DM model for long-term hydraulic and pollution simulations.
    • The conceptual pollution model for the tank effectively captured system dynamics.
    • The upstream system simulation, validated against real-world data, demonstrated model accuracy.
    • The combined HYDROWORKS DM and SIMBA/SIMBAD models formed a fully validated integrated system.

    Conclusions:

    • The integrated model provides a robust tool for simulating long-term pollution in sewerage systems.
    • The validated method aids in defining WWTP reference flow, enhancing operational efficiency.
    • Accurate modeling of upstream systems is essential for effective overall wastewater management.
