A monitoring and alert methodology ascertains conditions that may result in a combined sewer overflow (CSO) event. The method employs a semantic model of a combined sewer system that includes specification information describing the components of the combined sewer system. Sensors distributed throughout the components of the combined sewer system sense operating parameter information for those components. A monitoring and alerting (MA) information handling system (IHS) receives operating parameter information from the sensors. The MA IHS analyzes the operating parameter information received from the sensors together with the specification information in the semantic model of the combined sewer system to determine if a combined sewer overflow (CSO) event is possible. The MA IHS generates an alert to provide notification of a possible CSO event if the MA IHS determines that a CSO event is possible. In this manner, an operator may take early corrective action before a CSO event occurs. 1.

Принадлежит: Trenchless Groundwater Movers LLC

A collector system installed utilizing trenchless or minimally invasive methods and devices configured to intercept and direct surface and/or subsurface fluids to a designated reception location to control groundwater elevations is disclosed. In one aspect, a target collection and drainage area is identified and a gravity drainage pipe is accessed or trenchlessly installed at the target collection and drainage area. The gravity drainage pipe can be accessed at one or more drawdown points. An end of the collection pipe can be connected to the drain pipe. By venting an end of the collection pipe to the surface, surface and subsurface water is hydrostatically drawn into the collection pipe from the target collection and drainage area. The surface and subsurface water can be passively drained from the collection pipe into the distribution pipe and onto the designated reception location providing a green process that eliminates power dependency.

When the vacuum valve (530) is intermittently opened by control of the valve pit apparatus (500), sewage (551) in the sump is intermittently injected under the influence of atmospheric pressure into the transport conduit (520) for transportation to the collection tank, which passes through the transport conduit riser (521) and detected by the transport conduit apparatus for processing. The results of the valve pit apparatus and the transport conduit apparatus processing are stored in computer memory as operating parameters and then wirelessly communicated to devices external of the valve pit apparatus and transport conduit apparatus. The distributed control system provides an apparatus and method for control and monitoring of the vacuum sewer system, which is complex in sensor placement operating parameters processing but simple in structure, easy to maintain and capable of stable operation.

PROCESS OF FLASH FLOODS DRAINAGE FROM GRAVEL ROADS

Номер: US20190234026A1
Автор: PETROVIC Pero
Принадлежит:

Due to the increasing rainfall (rain, l/s, m) lately, the problem of drainage of torrential surface water from sections of gravel roads with longitudinal slope should be dealt with more efficiently than it was the case with road construction with transverse slope. By installing permeable channels with trapezoidal cross-section with higher permeability comparing to the unbound surface layer of road structure, the road life-cycle increases. The installation of channels slightly increases investment costs of the road construction. Trapezoidal cross-section should lead to the stability of channels installed in the layers of road pavement structure, whereas the crushed stone filling which is less dense than the surface wear layer of road pavement structure (mainly a cavity to accept water) enables the sinking of torrential water from the pavement structure and discharge away from the road. 1. The procedure of drainage of torrential surface water from the gravel road sections with longitudinal slope would be carried out by dividing the gravel road into segments where the slope is longitudinal.2. The drainage of torrential surface water from the gravel road sections with longitudinal slope would be done by installing trapezoidal channels into pavement structure at each road segment.3. The channels for the drainage of torrential surface water from the gravel road sections with longitudinal slope according to would be filled with crushed stone as it is more permeable comparing to the unbound surface layer of road pavement structure and makes the torrential flow sink down and discharge from the road pavement structure.4. (canceled) This invention (process) refers to the area of construction engineering, construction of roads, especially those gravel roads which have longitudinal slope.Due to the climate change, rainfall intensity (downpour) in the last decade has increased (rain, l/s, m2), leading to flash floods of gravel roads where water flows in longitudinal instead of ...

Interchangeable System for Overflow Treatment and Tertiary Filtration for Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) events require certain minimum treatment, before discharge, according to EPA regulations. However, these events are infrequent, and CSO treatment systems remain idle most of the time. Tertiary filtration is typically used to polish off the secondary treated water in order to remove suspended matter, phosphorous, etc. Tertiary systems are usually designed to handle design flows and remain active most of the time. These are two independent unit operations requiring major capital investment and operational expense. According to this invention an interchangeable system is able to switch a tertiary treatment reactor back and forth between two applications ensuring seamless operation, smooth transition and significant cost savings for treatment facilities.

Принадлежит: Trenchless Groundwater Movers LLC

A collector system installed utilizing trenchless or minimally invasive methods and devices configured to intercept and direct surface and/or subsurface fluids to a designated reception location to control groundwater elevations is disclosed. In one aspect, a target collection and drainage area is identified and a gravity drainage pipe is accessed or trenchlessly installed at the target collection and drainage area. The gravity drainage pipe can be accessed at one or more drawdown points. An end of the collection pipe can be connected to the drain pipe. By venting an end of the collection pipe to the surface, surface and subsurface water is hydrostatically drawn into the collection pipe from the target collection and drainage area. The surface and subsurface water can be passively drained from the collection pipe into the distribution pipe and onto the designated reception location providing a green process that eliminates power dependency.
