Understanding the Trade-offs in Water & Wastewater Management for taking informed decisions schedule on 29th June, 2018 at Hotel Leela Place, New Delhi
The document introduces a new water treatment technology called PurState that offers simpler and more efficient solutions to the growing complexity of water treatment. It faces challenges like increasing water demand, shrinking water supplies, and more contaminants requiring treatment. PurState provides capital and operating cost savings compared to traditional chlorine and ozone-based methods. It has a small footprint, treats a broad spectrum of contaminants without chemicals, and allows water recycling and reuse at lower costs than existing technologies.
This document discusses resource efficiency and waste minimization. It notes that currently 60% of materials are thrown away after single use and it takes 10 tons of material to produce 1 ton of product. Resource efficiency aims to produce more value with less material throughout the lifecycle from extraction to disposal. Key ways to improve include reducing waste at source, reusing and recycling materials, using cleaner technologies and monitoring waste through key performance indicators.
The document summarizes the work of GreenCape, a non-profit organization in South Africa, to promote water reuse in industrial processes. GreenCape conducted interviews with industrial managers, researchers, consultants, and technology suppliers to understand drivers and barriers to industrial water reuse. Key drivers included water risk to businesses from drought, while main barriers were high capital costs and lack of funding. The project developed case studies of companies that successfully reduced water usage and a business case calculator to evaluate potential water reuse projects. GreenCape aims to increase adoption of reuse by providing information and supporting investment in water technologies.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

1130 – 1300 hrs Session I: Evaluating Trade – Offs
Regulations and reforms that specify and control the volume and extent of wastewater
generated by Pulp & Paper Industry has undergone new developments defined both in
terms of stricter enforcement and tougher standards on water use, wastewater
generation, and concentration of salts. Most industries do not have sufficient
understanding and resources to handle this challenge. A variety of potential risks
include excessive and often imbalanced build-up/recovery of salts, increased
concentrations, and accumulation of emerging contaminants especially in relation to
achieving reduction in wastewater volumes (or an expectation of moving towards ZLD).
As these possible trade-offs of wastewater generation and salt loads vary significantly
between sites and regions, it is necessary to carefully monitor and manage wastewater
quality, its sources and use for location-specific risk assessment and risk reduction.
Key topics:
• Understanding the Environment and Economic Trade-offs
• Reduction in Wastewater volumes with reduced salt loads
• Successful case studies
1300 – 1400 hrs Lunch and Networking
1400 – 1530 hrs Session II: Role of Emerging tools, techniques & technologies
In water quality and resources management, an integrated approach is crucial for
sustainable development. While reducing water waste is a top priority for leading
companies, however, dwindling resources, rising water rates, and new regulatory
compliances are a few of the many reasons facility managers are finding ways to
handle this. Emerging tools and technologies look at new models of data management,
optimization, monitoring, and treatment. The future and core of Industry 4.0 is highly
intelligent connected systems that create a fully digital value chain, end-to-end.
Key topics:
• Promoting optimization using WATER PINCH
• Role of New and Emerging technologies
• Informed decision making through Decision Support Systems
• WatSmart and WATSCAN
