This report summarize the current knowledge of odor and corrosion in collection systems pulled from a literature survey of over 4,000 published abstracts and gray literature sources supplied by utilities, manufacturers, and vendors in an effort to better explain the science underlying odor generation, sewer ventilation, odor characterization and monitoring, and corrosion mechanisms. A "plain-English" overview of odor and corrosion in collection systems, including how odor- and corrosion-causing compounds are formed and what to do to control them, is presented. The report provides an overview of odor- and corrosion-causing compounds and combines expertise regarding utility and asset management, affordability, regulatory and permitting, public outreach, characterization, assessment and measurement, and system planning, design, odor and corrosion abatement, and operation and maintenance.

Odor complaints are on the rise as ongoing residential and commercial developments in our cities bring more and more people within close proximity to wastewater collection systems and treatment plants, and as this development spurs the expansion of collection and treatment facilities to handle ever-increasing capacity needs. This book is a collection of papers presented at the WEFTEC 2000 Odor and Corrosion workshop. By collecting the presentations made by the leading experts in this discipline-including presentations on odor and corrosion control in wastewater systems. The information in this book should be of interest and value to all collection systems.

This book addresses the latest research advances, innovations, and applications in the field of urban drainage and water management as presented by leading researchers, scientists and practitioners from around the world at the 11th International Conference on Urban Drainage Modelling (UDM), held in Palermo, Italy from 23 to 26 September, 2018. The conference was promoted and organized by the University of Palermo, Italy and the International Working Group on Data and Models, with the support of four of the world’s leading organizations in the water sector: the International Water Association (IWA), International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), Environmental & Water Resources Institute (EWRI) - ASCE, and the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society (iEMSs). The topics covered are highly diverse and include drainage and impact mitigation, water quality, rainfall in urban areas, urban hydrologic and hydraulic processes, tools, techniques and analysis in urban drainage modelling, modelling interactions and integrated systems, transport and sewer processes (incl. micropollutants and pathogens), and water management and climate change. The conference’s primary goal is to offer a forum for promoting discussions amongst scientists and professionals on the interrelationships between the entire water cycle, environment and society.

Intended as a practical reference for professionals involved in managing air emissions from wastewater systems, this work examines practical topics related to odor control and potentially toxic air emissions control. Chapters cover characteristics and measurement of odor and toxic air emissions, relevant regulations and policies, potential emission sources, control strategies, containment and ventilation from treatment facilities, and public communications. A number of chapters deal address gas-phase treatment techniques. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Odor & Corrosion Control in Sanit.Sewage

Wastewater treatment works have the potential to generate unpleasant odours, which can results in annoyance and consequently have a detrimental effect on a local population. As a result 'odour control and prevention' has become an important consideration both in the management of existing facilities and in the design and gaining of planning consent for new works. Odours in Wastewater Treatment provides readers with a detailed discussion on the basic principles involved in the formation of volatile compounds in wastewater treatment. Accounts are given of recent developments in the sampling and measurement of odours, practical examples in the prediction and dispersion of odorous emissions are offered and an overview of the technologies currently used to contain and treat odorous compounds presented. Contents Introduction Odours associated with wastewater treatment Odour sampling and measurement Assessment and prediction of nuisance odours Odour control and treatment

Legionnaires' disease, a pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacterium, is the leading cause of reported waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States. Legionella occur naturally in water from many different environmental sources, but grow rapidly in the warm, stagnant conditions that can be found in engineered water systems such as cooling towers, building plumbing, and hot tubs. Humans are primarily exposed to Legionella through inhalation of contaminated aerosols into the respiratory system. Legionnaires' disease can be fatal, with between 3 and 33 percent of Legionella infections leading to death, and studies show the incidence of Legionnaires' disease in the United States increased five-fold from 2000 to 2017. Management of Legionella in Water Systems reviews the state of science on Legionella contamination of water systems, specifically the ecology and diagnosis. This report explores the process of transmission via water systems, quantification, prevention and control, and policy and training issues that affect the incidence of Legionnaires' disease. It also analyzes existing knowledge gaps and recommends research priorities moving forward.
