生物营养物去除(BNR)工艺模型参数校正与验证方法

研究了结合活性污泥系统物料平衡的生物营养物去除(BNR)工艺模型参数校正与验证方法.首先采用代尔夫特理工大学开发的TUD模型及其参数缺省值进行初步模拟,并将模拟结果与实测数据进行对比以明确模拟偏差.同时,对原始运行数据进行物料平衡衡算,以消除测量误差并获得TP排放量、反硝化量及氧的净消耗量等平衡计算值,为模型校正提供依据.初步模拟结果显示,TP排放量(3913mg·d-1,以P计)和反硝化量(16170mg·d-1,以N计)均超出了平衡计算值的误差范围(分别为(3762.0±43.1)mg·d-1和(14150±237)mg·d-1),且沿程溶解性COD(SCOD)、PO34--P、NH4+-N、NO3--N不能完全与实测数据吻合,表明工艺模型参数的默认值需得到必要的校正.结合TP平衡,先修正污泥龄(SRT)的计算误差;应用平衡后的运行数据,将SRT由初始值10.3d调整为10d.SRT调整后,再次模拟得出的TP排放量为3750mg·d-1,已在平衡计算结果的范围之内,TP平衡得到了闭合.将发酵过程最大反应速率常数qfe从3d-1提高到15d-1后,沿程及PO43--P拟合结果同时得到了显著改善.通过调整DO及NH4+-N的亲和系数KNH4(从1mg·L-1至0.2mg·L-1),沿程NH4+-N得到了拟合.出水及沿程NO3--N的拟合通过调整氧的亲和系数KO2从0.7至0.1mg·L-1)得以实现.最后校核反硝化负荷及氧的净消耗量,模拟计算的反硝化负荷为14090mg·d-1,氧的净消耗量为126900mg·d-1,均在平衡计算值的误差范围之内(分别为(14150±237)mg·d-1和(129700±2910)mg·d-1),说明校正过程合理、可靠.     

亚青会期间南京地区气溶胶浓度变化及其与能见度的关系

为保障2014年青奥会空气质量和制定控制措施提供科学支持,利用2013年8月南京市气溶胶的观测资料,结合气象要素,分析了南京地区气溶胶浓度变化特征,并深入研究了气溶胶质量浓度与相对湿度对能见度的影响.结果表明,观测期间PM10和PM2.5质量浓度平均值分别为67.44μg·m-3和31.92μg·m-3,0.1~10μm粒径范围内的气溶胶粒子数浓度和体积浓度的平均值分别为2466.25 cm-3和19.89μm3·cm-3;对数正态分布(log-normal)拟合平均谱分布得到两个模态的中值粒径分别为0.19μm和1.12μm;局地源强是影响南京气溶胶浓度的重要因子;PM10和PM2.5质量浓度日变化略有差异,PM10浓度日变化主要受交通和边界层活动影响,PM2.5浓度日变化则主要受交通排放和光化学反应生成的二次污染物的影响;对能见度的统计分析表明,能见度随PM2.5浓度和相对湿度的增加而降低,当相对湿度小于70%时,PM2.5浓度对能见度的影响较大,当相对湿度大于70%时,相对湿度对能见度的影响较大.

A system dynamics model to facilitate public understanding of water management options in Las Vegas,Nevada

Water managers increasingly are faced with the challenge of building public or stakeholder support for resource management strategies. Building support requires raising stakeholder awareness of resource problems and understanding about the consequences of different policy options. One approach that can help managers communicate with stakeholders is system dynamics modeling. Used interactively in a public forum, a system dynamics model can be used to explain the resource system and illustrate the effects of strategies proposed by managers or suggested by forum participants. This article illustrates the process of building a strategic-level system dynamics model using the case of water management in Las Vegas, Nevada. The purpose of the model was to increase public understanding of the value of water conservation in Las Vegas. The effects of policies on water supply and demand in the system are not straightforward because of the structure of the system. Multiple feedback relationships lead to the somewhat counterintuitive result that reducing residential outdoor water use has a much greater effect on water demand than reducing indoor water use by the same amount. The model output shows this effect clearly. This paper describes the use of the model in research workshops and discusses the potential of this kind of interactive model to stimulate stakeholder interest in the structure of the system, engage participant interest more deeply, and build stakeholder understanding of the basis for management decisions.     

Climate Change Impacts on Local Flood Risks in the U.S. Northeast: A Case Study on the Connecticut and Merrimack River Basins

This study investigates the potential impacts of climate change on future flows in the main stem of the Connecticut and Merrimack rivers within Massachusetts. The study applies two common climate projections based on (Representative Concentration Pathways), RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 and downscaled gridded climate projections from 14 global climate models (GCMs) to estimate the 100‐year, 24‐h extreme precipitation events for two future time‐periods: near‐term (2021–2060) and far‐term (2060–2099). 100‐year 24‐h precipitation events at near‐ and far‐term are compared to GCM‐driven historical extreme precipitation events during a base period (1960–1999) and results for RCP 8.5 scenario show average increases between 25%–50% during the near‐term compared to the base period and increases of over 50% during the far‐term. Streamflow conditions are generated with a distributed hydrological model where downscaled climate projections are used as inputs. For the near‐term, the medians of the GCMs using the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 suggest 2.9%–8.1% increases in the 100‐year, 24‐h flow event in the Connecticut and an increase of 9.9%–13.7% in the Merrimack River. For the far‐term, the medians of the GCMs using the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 suggest a 9.0%–14.1% increase in the Connecticut and 15.8%–20.6% for the Merrimack River. Ultimately, the results presented here can be used as a guidance for the long‐term management of infrastructures on the Connecticut and Merrimack River floodplains.

Allocation of supplementary aeration stations in the Chicago waterway system for dissolved oxygen improvement

The Chicago Waterway System (CWS), used mainly for commercial and recreational navigation and for urban drainage, is a 122.8 km branching network of navigable waterways controlled by hydraulic structures. The CWS receives pollutant loads from 3 of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world, nearly 240 gravity Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO), 3 CSO pumping stations, direct diversions from Lake Michigan, and eleven tributary streams or drainage areas. Even though treatment plant effluent concentrations meet the applicable standards and most reaches of the CWS meet the applicable water quality standards, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) standards are not met in the CWS during some periods. A Use Attainability Analysis was initiated to evaluate what water quality standards can be achieved in the CWS. The UAA team identified several DO improvement alternatives including new supplementary aeration stations. Because of the dynamic nature of the CWS, the DUFLOW model that is capable of simulating hydraulics and water quality processes under unsteady-flow conditions was used to evaluate the effectiveness of new supplementary aeration stations. This paper details the use of the DUFLOW model to size and locate supplementary aeration stations. In order to determine the size and location of supplemental aeration stations, 90% compliance with a 5 mg/l DO standard was used as a planning target. The simulations showed that a total of four new supplementary aeration stations with oxygen supply capacities ranging from 30 to 80 g/s would be sufficient to meet the proposed target DO concentration for the North Branch and South Branch of the Chicago River. There are several aeration technologies, two of which are already being used in the CWS, available and the UAA team determined that the total capital costs of the alternatives range from $35.5 to $89.9 million with annual operations and maintenance costs ranging from $554,000 to $2.14 million. Supplemental aeration stations have been shown to be a potentially effective means to improve DO concentrations in the CWS and will be included in developing an integrated strategy for improving water quality in the CWS.
