A methodology for the design of wet detention basins for treatment of highway stormwater runoff
Laboratory-scale settling columns were used to determine the settling velocity distributions of suspended solids to refine a methodology selected by the FHWA in designing wet detention basins for the treatment of highway stormwater runoff. Thirteen runoff samples were collected, over two years, …

Distributional models of ocean carbon export
… depth. Particular use is made of (probability) distributional descriptions of quantities that are known to vary appreciably. First, using established thermodynamic dependencies for primary production and respiration, a simple mechanistic model is developed relating export efficiency (i.e. the …

Development of Transitional Settling Regimen Parameters to Characterize and Optimize Solids-liquid Separation Performance
Novel settling characteristic metrics were developed based on the fundamental mechanisms of coagulation, flocculation, and settling. The settling metrics determined parameters that are essential in monitoring and optimizing the activated sludge process without the need for expensive or specialized …

Primary sedimentation tank model with characterized settling velocity groups
… the separation of solids and liquid in primary settling tanks (PSTs) of wastewater treatment systems. These physical processes are described by various settling conditions such as discrete and flocculent settling, along with other phenomena such as flocculation, coagulation, ammonification or …
