Optimal management of corrosion and odour problems in sewer systems

废水中的污染物在下水道中经历复杂的变化，导致产生和释放有气味和腐蚀性的化合物。尽管供水公司为缓解这些问题作出了重大努力和支出，但下水道的恶臭排放在城市地区仍然普遍存在。此外，由于下水道腐蚀，公共资产的价值大大减少，仅在澳大利亚每年就损失数亿美元。该项目是澳大利亚水务行业和世界领先科学家的一项重大联合努力，旨在产生先进知识并开发有效技术，以优化下水道的气味和腐蚀管理，带来巨大的社会，环境和经济效益。

Pollutants in wastewater undergo complex changes in sewers, leading to the production and release of odorous and corrosive compounds. Despite major efforts and expenditure by water utilities to mitigate these problems, odorous emissions from sewers are still commonly occurring in urban areas. Furthermore, the value of public assets is significantly diminished due to sewer corrosion, costing hundreds of millions of dollars a year in Australia alone. This project is a major joint effort by the Australian water industry and world-leading scientists to generate advanced knowledge and develop effective technologies for optimal odour and corrosion management in sewers, delivering large social, environmental and economic benefits.
