Abstract

An optimised bio-electrochemical reactor for treating a liquid effluent containing a biodegradable organic pollution. At least one of the anode and cathode compartments of the reactor is a microbial biofilm compartment (12) including a multi-stage current collector immersed in an electrolyte comprising electroactive microorganisms. This current collector includes at least two stages, each defining a chamber acting as a container for a biocompatible granular support material and letting the fluid pass through. The effluent circulates inside the compartment (12) according to an X direction crossing the stages of the current collector. In operation, the support material (17) is in a fluidised state resulting either from the circulation of the effluent, or from the circulation of a fluidisation gas allowing optimising the active surface of the electrode and, consequently, the treatment of the effluent.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forecasting the availability of water resources at a time of calculation, on the basis of precipitation input data over a predetermined time period and of historical data recorded over a historical period prior to the given time, the historical data consisting of precipitation input data and, optionally, of evapotranspiration and water runoff output data. The method combines: - a conceptual model with rainfall-runoff reservoirs, the parameters of which model are calibrated to coincide with the historical data; - a machine learning model, the learning of which has been carried out on the basis of the historical precipitation input data and of output data consisting of a deviation observed between: a) a retrospective runoff forecast provided by the conceptual model with a reservoir calibrated using the historical data, at each time in the historical period; b) the water runoff recorded at the same time in the historical period, wherein the forecast consists in: - obtaining, from the conceptual model with a reservoir calibrated using the historical data, a provisional runoff forecast at the time of calculation and on the basis of the precipitation input data over the predetermined time period; - obtaining, from the machine learning model, a correction forecast at the same time of calculation and on the basis of the same input data over the predetermined time period; - combining the provisional forecast and the correction forecast to obtain a runoff forecast. The invention also relates to a forecasting tool and system.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for controlling a membrane separation unit of an aqueous liquid effluent treatment plant comprising a system for injecting at least one chemical compound into the effluent to be treated. The method and the system allow regulating at least one parameter selected from an amount of chemical compound(s) to be added and a conversion rate in order to avoid clogging and/or precipitation of ionic species in the retentate. This regulation uses optimum setpoint values determined according to one or more parameter(s) characteristic of the retentate and not of the water to be treated. Thus, an accurate regulation of the amount of chemical compound(s) to be added and/or of the conversion rate of the membrane separation unit at an optimum value allowing at the same time avoiding clogging and/or precipitation of the species likely to precipitate and minimising the operating costs is achieved.

Abstract

A method for selectively removing micro-contaminants from sludge, the method includes a) providing sludge contaminated with micro-contaminants, and b) subjecting the sludge to a primary treatment step, thereby producing a first stream of primary sludge comprising a first part of micro-contaminants and a second stream of remaining sludge comprising a second part of micro-contaminants, c) subjecting the second stream of remaining sludge to a secondary treatment step, thereby producing biological sludge, wherein the first stream of primary sludge and the biological sludge are further subjected to separate treatment steps whose effects are coupled, so as to divert, capture and destroy the first part of micro-contaminants in the primary treatment step.

Abstract

The invention relates to an optimised bio-electrochemical reactor for treatment of a liquid effluent containing a biodegradable organic pollution. According to the invention, at least one of the anode and cathode compartments of the reactor is a microbial biofilm compartment (12) comprising a multistage current collector immersed in an electrolyte comprising electroactive microorganisms. This current collector comprises at least two stages, each defining a chamber acting as a container for a biocompatible granular support material and allowing the fluid to pass through. The effluent circulates inside the compartment (12) in a direction X crossing the stages of the current collector. In operating mode, the support material (17) is in a fluidised state resulting either from the circulation of the effluent, or from the circulation of a fluidisation gas making it possible to optimise the active surface of the electrode and, consequently, the treatment of the effluent.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and system for controlling a membrane separation unit of an aqueous liquid effluent treatment plant comprising a system for injecting at least one chemical compound into the effluent that is to be treated. The method and system make it possible to regulate at least one parameter selected from a quantity of chemical compound(s) to be added and a conversion rate so as to avoid fouling and/or the precipitation of ionic species in the retentate. This regulation uses optimal setpoint values determined on the basis of one or more characteristic parameters of the retentate rather than of the water that is to be treated. By precisely regulating the quantity of chemical compound(s) to be added and/or the conversion rate of the membrane separation unit to an optimal value, it is possible not only to prevent fouling and/or the precipitation of species liable to precipitate but also to minimize operating costs.

METHOD AND FURNACE FOR INCINERATING ORGANIC MATTER DERIVED FROM THE TREATMENT OF INDUSTRIAL OR AGRICULTURAL WASTE OR WASTEWATER, SUCH AS SLUDGE

Abstract

A method for incinerating organic matter derived from the treatment of wastewater, or of industrial or agricultural waste, such as sludge and notably treatment plant sludge, is in a fluidized-bed incineration furnace, the furnace including a chamber in the lower part of which there is a bed of particles, preferentially sand, constituting a fluidization zone, in which fluidization zone the organic matter is introduced as fuel whilst air is injected as oxidizer into the bed of sand from a wind box through a fluidization dome surmounting the box. The air passes through passages made in the fluidization dome, and the furnace is configured to treat a nominal value of volume of organic matter to be treated. The method includes a step of adjusting the volume of the fluidization zone as a function of the volume of organic matter to be treated in which, when the volume of organic matter to be treated is lower than the nominal value, the volume of the fluidization zone is reduced from an initial volume to a reduced volume, and the incoming air flow is reduced by closing air passages so only the passages opening into the thus reduced fluidization zone are left active.

Abstract

A method allowing data delivered by a rain gauge to be validated in real time is provided. The method includes steps of: receiving, in a defined time window, pluviometric data from a gauge and weather data from at least one weather radar; computing a coefficient of gauge/radar similarity between the pluviometric data received from the gauge and the weather data received from the at least one weather radar; comparing the value of the coefficient of obtained gauge/radar similarity to a threshold gauge/radar value; and validating the pluviometric data of the gauge if the value of the coefficient of gauge/radar similarity is higher than or equal to the threshold gauge/radar value.

Abstract

A method is provided for placing sensors in a fluid distribution network by simulating network operating scenarios; by determining candidate sets of sensor positions; by determining the measurements of each sensor in each scenario, and the detection of associated anomalies; by attributing a score to each candidate set of sensor positions, representing the capacity of the sensors placed in the positions of the set to accomplish a mission. Finally, the candidate sets are modified using so-called genetic algorithms until a stop criterion is validated. The genetic algorithms can for example consist in crossing over or mutating candidate sets.
