Estimation and optimization operation in dealing with inflow and infiltration of a hybrid sewerage system in limited infrastructure facility data
Abstract Inflow and infiltration (I/I) are serious problems in hybrid sewerage systems. Limited sewerage information impedes the estimation accuracy of I/I for each catchment. A new method dealing with I/I of a large-scale hybrid sewerage system with limited infrastructure facility data is proposed in this study. The catchment of representative pump stations was adopted to demonstrate the homological catchments that have similar wastewater fluctuation characteristics. Homological catchments were clustered using the self-organizing map (SOM) analysis based on long-term daily flow records of 50 pumping stations. An assessment index was applied to describe the I/I and overflow risk in the catchment based on the hourly wastewater quality and quantity data of representative pump stations. The potential operational strategy of homological catchments was determined by the assessment index of representative pump stations. The simulation results of the potential operational strategy indicated that the optimized operation strategy could reduce surcharge events and significantly improve the quality of wastewater treatment plant effluent.
