Water Quality in SWMM5

Water Quality Modeling Features

In addition to modeling the generation and transport of runoff flows, SWMM can also estimate the production of pollutant loads associated with this runoff. The following processes can be modeled for any number of user-defined water quality constituents:

· dry-weather pollutant buildup

Water Quality and Sediment Parameters in InfoWorks_ICM

Water Quality and Sediment Parameters

The Water Quality Simulation Parameters govern how the engine performs the additional water quality calculations during a simulation.

It is not normally necessary to amend the Water Quality Simulation Parameters. The default values have been chosen for optimum accuracy and performance. However, these parameters can … Read the rest

Hydrogen Sulfide, Corrosion and BOD5 in Innovyze InfoSewer

Hydrogen Sulfide, Corrosion and BOD5 in Innovyze InfoSewer

The control of odorous gases and the corrosion of sewers are the two most important problems in operating wastewater collection systems. Evaluation of existing or potential odor or corrosion problems, and identification of where such problems will occur is, therefore, highly essential. … Read the rest

Modeling H2S in InfoSWMM

Modeling H2S in InfoSWMM

You can model Sulfide in InfoSWMM using the H2S water quality modeling option which uses BOD5 loading at nodes to estimate the S concentration in the nodes and links of the network using constant network parameters for:

  1. The Reaction Rate Coefficient,
  2. The Sulfide Loss Coefficient,
  3. Sulfide

Simple SI Unit Model for SWMM5 LID with 100 mm Rainfall – Part 2

This blog is a companion to the blog post https://swmm5.org/2017/04/17/swmm5-simple-100-mm-rainfall-model-for-lid-modeling-part-1/ in which a 1 Hectare model with 100 mm of rainfall had a simple Bio-Retention Cell with no LID outflows. In part 2 of this blog series we will add a drain coefficient of 10 mm/hr (Figure 1). The internal … Read the rest

#SWMM5 Simple 100 mm Rainfall model for #LID modeling – Part 1

Simple SI Unit Model for SWMM5 LID with 100 mm Rainfall.

Reading this blog and using the embedded SWMM 5 example file, you will run a simple SI unit model based on factors of 1 and 10.

The LID (Bio-Retention Cell) is designed to have zero outflows, Figure 1,

Water Quality in InfoSewer and H2OMap Sewer

Quality Model

The purpose of the quality model is to simulate pollutant loading and buildup, washoff, as well as individual domestic, commercial and industrial contributions, and transport. Seven different types of quality analyses can be carried out by InfoSewer/Pro and are explained below.

POLLUTANT TRANSPORT

InfoSewer/Pro can effectively simulate the … Read the rest
