Particle Related Water Quality Prediction For Drinking Water Distribution Systems

Based on monitoring of particle related water quality in an experimental pipe loop, the fouling of pipes under common hydraulic conditions found in distribution systems is modelled. The processes transport, deposition and re-suspension are investigated experimentally, modelled and then programmed in Matlab as a software module. As required structure and hydraulics of existent drinking water distribution systems are usually available by pipe modelling software, the interaction between modelling software and quality module becomes defined.
