How Well Do We Know "Particle Size" in Urban Runoff Pollution Control?
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2008: Ahupua'A
Abstract
Understanding basics of unit operations and processes (UOP) are fundamental for design, analysis and monitoring of Best Management Practices (BMP) for urban runoff pollution control. In physical separation processes such as hydrodynamic separation and filtration, particulate size plays an important role. Performance of these systems typically is evaluated by removing the mass of the particulate pollutants. In order to select the appropriate technology and design unit adequately to meet the desired performance, particle size distribution for the pollutants is one of the most critical physical characteristics to investigate and to be understood.
