Development of Innovative Treatment Approaches & Strategies for Industrial Waters

尽管研究界对城市雨水水质和管理进行了积极的研究，但关于工业场地雨水径流特征和处理的文献很少。*这项拟议的研究计划旨在提供有关水质特征的新信息，以及针对火力发电部门产生的工业径流的创新处理战略的发展。除了传统的燃煤、石油和天然气发电站外，由于人们对与能源-水和能源-水-环境关系密切相关的可再生能源转换过程的兴趣，近年来生物质热电联产(CHP)的应用越来越多。这些领域的更多知识对于源头控制和治理战略至关重要，这将引起加拿大和国外的发电行业、工程设计师、决策者和监管机构的兴趣。这项研究计划的总体目标将是改进对工业运行中雨水径流的处理的理解和方法。该研究计划将涉及实地工作，以提供更多关于火电厂产生的径流的水质特征的知识，并进行小规模研究，以评估利用传统和混合物理化学过程中的商业可获得和废物转化为资源的副产品进行的新处理的传统处理方法。

Although there are active studies by the research community on urban stormwater quality and management, there is a paucity of published literature on stormwater runoff characterization and treatment for industrial sites. ******This proposed research program aims to provide new information on water quality characteristics and the development innovative treatment strategies focused on industrial runoff generated by the thermal power generation sector. In addition to conventional coal, oil and gas generating stations, the interest in renewable energy conversion processes that are closely related to the energy-water and energy-water-environment nexus have resulted in increased applications of biomass fired combined heat and power (CHP) plants in recent years. More knowledge in these areas are critical for source control and treatment strategies that would be of interest to the power generation industry, engineering designers, decision makers and regulators in Canada and abroad. The overall objective of this research program will be to develop an improved understanding and approach to the treatment of stormwater runoff from industrial operations. The research program will involve field work to provide increased knowledge on water quality characteristics of runoff generated at thermal power plants, and bench-scale studies to evaluate conventional treatment approaches to novel treatments using commercially available and waste-to-resource by-products in conventional and hybrid physiochemical processes.
