Optimal Placement and Operation of Booster Chlorination Stations Using an Advection-Dispersion Transport Model for Chlorine Decay in the Dead-End Pipes

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2018: Hydraulics and Waterways, Water Distribution Systems Analysis, and Smart Water

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the effects of considering an advanced water quality simulation model for finding the optimal layout and operation of a booster chlorination system. Previous studies have generally relied on EPANET, an advection-based water quality model, to simulate the transport and decay of disinfectant residuals. In this study, an advection-dispersion-reaction (ADR) transport model that considers the spatial distribution of flow demands along the dead-end pipe is considered instead. The results suggest that optimization results generated by EPANET may not produce a booster chlorination system that adequately maintains the minimum residual concentration in the periphery pipes of a real-life water distribution system.
