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已发表文献却很少。** 这项拟议的研究计划旨在提供有关水质特征的新信息，并开发创新的处理策略，重点关注火力发电行业产生的工业径流。 除了传统的煤、石油和天然气发电站之外，近年来，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导致了生物质燃烧的热电联产（CHP）工厂的应用增加。 在这些领域的更多知识是至关重要的源控制和处理策略，将感兴趣的发电行业，工程设计师，决策者和监管机构在加拿大和国外。这项研究计划的总体目标将是发展一个更好的理解和方法来处理工业运营的雨水径流。该研究计划将涉及实地工作，以提供更多的知识，在火电厂产生的径流水质特性，和实验室规模的研究，以评估传统的处理方法，以新的治疗方法，使用商业上可用的和废物资源化的副产品，在传统和混合物理化学过程。

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.
