Adaptative water quality management in water distribution systems by optimizing control valves and chlorination booster stations
Good water quality in a water distribution system (WDS) can be reached by using flow control valves (FCV) to reduce water residence time (WRT), and chlorine booster stations to maintain acceptable free residual chlorine concentrations (FRCC). The research developed a cost-effective, adaptative approach for managing FCV and chlorine booster stations, while maintaining acceptable pressure and FRCC ranges. The methodology is applied to a real full-scale case study considering three optimization formulations: 1) FCV operation, 2) chlorine booster station operation, and 3) combining them in an adaptive management strategy. Results revealed that chlorine booster stations individually or combined with FCV enhanced water quality significantly at an acceptable cost, while FCV optimization alone or combined with chlorine booster stations reduced WRT by, at most, 3.8%. Chlorine booster stations were thus more effective than FCV in this case study. This formulation can be applied to other WDS to improve water quality cost-effectively.
