First of all, water reuse system, water regeneration reuse system (including regeneration recycle) and wastewater treatment system are designed separately. But the interaction between different parts demands that each part is designed iteratively to optimize the whole water network. Therefore, on the basis of the separated design a water netvrork superstructure including reuse, regeneration and wastewater treatment is established from the system engineering point of view. And a multi-objective adaptive simulated annealing genetic algorithm is adopted to simultaneously integrate the overall water netvrork to balance the economic and environmental effects. The algorithm overcomes the defect of local optimum of simulated annealing (SA), avoids the pre-maturation of genetic algorithm (GA) and finds a set of solutions (pareto front) in acceptable computer time. Prom the pareto front, a point with minimum fresh water consumption will be extended to zero discharge as our ultimate goal.展开更多

Building water supply and drainage design contains the design of rainwater drainage, sewage drainage design, water supply design and fire water supply design. At present, the research on the life cycle assessment of urban drainage system is mainly focused on the sewage treatment plant, therefore in this paper we introduce the theoretical basis of life cycle assessment. In the era of information network, building information model（BIM） technology is widely applied to the design of building water supply and drainage, which and effectively improves the design effi ciency, and makes up for the traditional water supply and drainage design of a lot of problems. In this paper, we analyze the development trend of water supply and drainage engineering based on life cycle assessment and building information model.展开更多

Inert organic solvent, 1-octanol, is introduced to ensure reaction intensity under control. The reaction performances with respect to apparent kinetics and selectivity are determined to explore optimized reaction conditions and confirm potentials for enhancing productivity in one batch. The dissolution and liquid phase reaction mechanism and instant reaction assumption are proposed and verified through process analysis. A process design towards free additional water is schematically figured out to manipulate solid NaOH, by-product,and unreacted starting materials to realize a nearly closed circuit. This process allows high selectivity over 97% and complete DCP conversion at 323.2 K within a reaction time less than 20 min. Other advantages include near-zero wastewater emission, economically possible NaOH regeneration from NaCl, and robust operating condition window.展开更多

During operation, increased hydrostatic back pressure at the base of the dam was found, which indicated the low efficiency of the base design protection. To reduce back pressure B. E. Vedeneev Hydro Technic Institute proposed the device of “advanced” drainage holes from the cement-grout gallery near the upstream face. The implementation of the proposal in a number of sections of the dam has led to a decrease in back pressure, but affected filtration in the drainage system, increasing it significantly. The article examines filtration features of “advanced” drainage holes and their dependence on the severity of winters. The spread of the practice of “advanced” drainage in other sections of the dam requires caution and further investigations of the nature of filtration.展开更多

The major reason for high ammonia concentrations is the large amounts of stored and exposed manure. The possibility to reduce ammonia release by reducing the amount of stored manure in bins in floor housing systems for laying hens has therefore been investigated. Investigations were carried out in a climate chamber equipped with a floor housing system with a manure removal system with two parallel motor driven conveyors placed below an elevated draining floor. The conditions when manure is stored in bins below draining floors were simulated by storing manure on the conveyors for several days at constant ventilation rates and temperatures. The investigations clearly showed that storage of manure in the bin caused a rapid increase in ammonia concentrations. After about 7 days storage of manure in the bin the ammonia concentration exceeded the hygienic threshold limit values. It can be concluded that long time storage of manure in storage bins below draining floors should not be recommended. It was possible to maintain the ammonia concentration below the hygienic threshold limit values when manure was removed frequently with conveyors. Floor housing systems for laying hens with elevated draining floors should therefore be equipped with manure removal systems that enable frequent removal of manure in the bins.展开更多
