Sensitized Photooxidation of Dissolved Sulfides in Water
The ability of methylene blue (MB) and riboflavin (RF) to sensitize dissolved sulfides for photooxidation was investigated. Both MB and RF were found to be effective sensitizers for the...
The Use of Iron Salts to Control Dissolved Sulfide in Districts' Trunk Sewers
Headspace H2S removal via the precipitation of dissolved sulfide was investigated using iron chlorides. Full-scale experiments were conducted in...
Caustic Spray for Sewer Crown Corrosion Control
A novel method to control sewer crown corrosion which involves spray application of a caustic solution to the sewer crown is described. Corrosion control using this concept is based on...
Proactive Odor Control Using Computer Modeling
The City of Los Angeles (City) is currently designing the East Central Interceptor Sewer (ECIS) as a major relief sewer. The pipeline will convey wastewater flows that originate upstream...
Hydrogen Sulfide in Hydropower Reservoirs
Hydrogen sulfide is toxic to aquatic life and corrosive to construction materials at concentrations that are considerably lower than detection limits of analytical procedures commonly...
Corrosion Below: Sewer Structures
When a sewer system fails, the cause is often not the pipe but a manhole, junction or other special-purpose structure. Most of these structures are concrete, either cast in place or precast....
Case Histories of Sulfide Corrosion
Section 522 of the Water Quality Act of 1987 requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a study of sulfide corrosion and control options in collection and treatment...
Sulfide in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems
ASCE Manual 69, Manual of Practice on Sulfide in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems, is intended to help planners, designers, and operators of wastewater facilities understand...
Successful Rehabilitation of Sewers at Hawaii Kai
Two common problems in sanitary sewer deterioration are hydrogen sulfide attack to concrete pipe and structures and infiltration leakage into the system. Within the 100 miles (160 km)...
State-Federal Gorda Ridge Task Force as a Conflict Resolution Mechanism
In 1983 the Minerals Management Service of the U. S. Department of the Interior proposed leasing of a large submerged area off Oregon and California for polymetallic sulfide mining. The...
Sewers Get a Breath of Fresh Air
Domestic sewage pump stations and treatment facilities have long been plagued by corrosion and odor problems caused by hydrogen sulfide. It is also extremely toxic. Sulfide production...
Effect of Wastewater Characteristics on the Sulfide Problem (
This paper presents an overview of various wastewater characteristics with which the designer should be familiar, and the effect of those characteristics on the sulfide problem, including...
Computer Modeling of Collection Systems for Sulfide Evaluation (
An overview of two computer models and a nomograph model for sulfide prediction is presented. The first program, 'SULF. BAS', is a Basic Language computer model...
Sulfide Control in Omaha and Cedar Rapids
Omaha, Nebraska, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa have been involved in efforts to control sulfide in major interceptors, at the influent to the treatment plants, and within the treatment facilities....
Controlling Sulfide Corrosion in Large Diameter Gravity Sewers (
The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County undertook a major evaluation of sewer system ranging in size from 1. 22 to 3. 65 meters in diameter that transports peak wastewater...
Sulfide Corrosion and Control in the City of Modesto Primary Effluent Outfall (
The City of Modesto has a 60 inch diameter, 6- one-half mile long reinforced concrete pipeline conveying primary effluent from the primary treatment plant to the remote oxidation pond...
Safety Aspects of Sulfide and Corrosion Studies (
An overview of the hazards involved in performing sulfide and corrosion studies in sewage treatment and collection systems is presented. Important factors which should be recognized in...
Codisposal of Low-Level Radioactive Cobalt Within Sanitary Landfills
The potential of resolubilization of radioactive cobalt from cobalt sulfide by humic substances present in landfill leachate was investigated. Equilibrium and kinetic studies on the potential...
Program for Control of Petroleum Refinery Wastewater
