Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

STEP 1 - CHOOSING A FIXTURE STYLE
Depending on the application, style of
fixture, light level requirements, etc., we
will help determine the best fixture to
provide lighting for a specific project.
Overhead fixtures, such as the Viper
fixture, provide lighting levels and
distributions perfect for roadways,
parking lots, parks, pathways and so
much more.

STEP 1 - CHOOSING A FIXTURE STYLE
Decorative fixtures can provide similar
lighting levels, but are used more on a
smaller scale and in areas where
architectural requirements exist, like in
a downtown redevelopment area or
residential neighborhoods. These
fixtures provide customizations that are
not always available with other fixtures,
such as coloring, bracketry, decorative
pole bases, etc. Fixtures like the Urban
fixture and the Viper fixture provide the
same lighting as they use the same LED
engines in both the fixtures.

STEP 1 - CHOOSING A FIXTURE STYLE
Flood fixtures provide lighting for many
applications, such as signs, flags, area
and security. These versatile fixtures
provide many different lighting patterns
with a various range of wattages. The
ARF flood provides many distribution
NEMA patterns from a narrow beam for
ground mounted flag lighting and wide
beam for signs and area security. The
FLAB mini flood is best for small
landscape or sign lighting projects.

STEP 1 - CHOOSING A FIXTURE STYLE
Wall and ceiling fixtures are great for
bus shelters, pagodas, pavilions, remote
restrooms and mailbox clusters. These
fixtures, such as the Euroluxe fixture,
provide good lighting with the ability to
flush mount to the wall or roof of most
structures.

STEP 1 - CHOOSING A FIXTURE STYLE
Each solar power assembly can operate one fixture or multiple fixtures depending on
the requirements of the project. For example, a sign may require anywhere from two to
six fixtures, all powered by a single power assembly. Same thing can be done with
pathways using bollard fixtures. Most overhead systems are powering a single or
double fixture arrangement.
The fixture selection begins the system design process. Check out the Solar Fixture
section on our website to find other fixtures provided that can be used for your project.
In the next section, we will discuss wattage and Lumen requirements to work on
determining the light power requirements that allows for eventually designing the
solar power assembly.

STEP 2 - DETERMINE WATTAGE / LUMEN REQUIREMENTS
WATTAGE VS
LUMEN OUTPUT
Part 2 of the solar lighting design guide
is about determining the wattage and
Lumen requirements of the project. This
varies from fixture to fixture,
manufacturer to manufacturer, and
higher wattage does not always mean
more light or higher lumen output.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
11. 1 1
STEP 2 - DETERMINE WATTAGE / LUMEN REQUIREMENTS
Each fixture has a standard LED wattage range. Depending on the application,
different wattages can be used to provide the necessary illumination for the application
at hand. Working with the solar lighting specialist can help determine the
requirements needed for light output.
For example, signs can be illuminated with a range from a 3.4 Watt FLAB mini flood for
small signs to up to 30 Watt ARF flood fixtures for large signs and billboard
applications. Same thing can be said for overhead lights. Small pedestrian pathways
can use either bollard fixtures or overhead fixtures and are usually between 15 and 30
Watts or 1400 and 3000 Lumens and are installed low, around 15' mounting height.
Higher lighting requirements of highways and parking lots start around 25 Watts /
2600 Lumens and goes up to 70 Watts / 7200 Lumens. Note: The lower the wattage, the
less the LED fixture has to work to produce the light…i.e. lower wattage can at times
equal higher lumen per watt output.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
12. 1 2
STEP 2 - DETERMINE WATTAGE / LUMEN REQUIREMENTS
Another factor to take into consideration is color of the light. Most of the LED fixtures
come in a range of 3000K to 5000K CRI. Turtle friendly lighting is also available for
coastal applications. These change the lighting requirements and wattages required to
illuminate the same area.
Adaptive lighting controls are another option that can be used in solar lighting
applications. If you require a light to meet specific lighting requirements during active
periods, but don’t necessarily require the same light levels when inactive, adaptive
lighting is a great way to reduce power consumption by the light fixture while
maintaining lighting on a design. Understanding these options and having an actual
photometric plan showing what the light levels are during the adaptive periods will
allow for better understanding of exactly what will be provided by the fixture.
Finally, knowing different distribution patterns provided by each fixture will help to
determine the coverage each fixture and their corresponding distribution patterns
provide. Type II distributions are great for pathways and roadways whereas Type III
and IV are more common for area and parking lot lighting applications.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com

STEP 2 - DETERMINE WATTAGE / LUMEN REQUIREMENTS
All the different options will help determine the best fit for any project. Working with
the solar lighting specialist will ensure that the light levels required are provided and
within the scope of solar power. Understanding the difference between Watts vs
Lumens and looking at a new way to think about Lumens and Watts through various
fixtures and their applications can ensure that the correct fixture will be chosen for the
project.

STEP 3 - CHOOSE AN OPERATION PROFILE
MAKE YOUR LIGHT
WORK HOW YOU
NEED IT TO
Part 3 of the solar lighting design guide
is about choosing an operation profile.
Not all applications require dusk to
dawn operation. Understanding exactly
what you require for your project will
help determine exactly how much power
is required to complete your project.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
15. 1 5
STEP 3 - CHOOSE AN OPERATION PROFILE
Dusk to dawn is the most popular operation profile for lighting applications. This is
from the old mindset of grid tied lighting since there is no worry about the amount of
power usage. Since grid lights will operate as long as there is power, there is little
difference in cost for custom lighting operation. With solar, using custom lighting
operation techniques can provide for a smaller solar and battery system.
Second popular system is dusk activated for a set number of hours or split time
operation. For example, if a business closes at 10pm and most people / customers are
gone by 11 pm, having the lights shut of around midnight will reduce the solar sizing. If
this same business opens again at 6 am, the lights can come back on an hour or two
before dawn, making the system split time. The only time the lights are off are during
the times the light is not required. For security during those off periods, the light power
can also be reduced for adaptive lighting.
Motion activated infrared detectors or occupancy sensors for areas where the light
only needs to operate when there is someone in the area. These can either bring a light
on or to a different intensity during the activation periods and then off or reduced
wattage for the rest of the time.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
16. 1 6
STEP 3 - CHOOSE AN OPERATION PROFILE
Other options include a real time clock for specific hours of operation. These systems
operate till a set time at night and then turn off, and can also be set to come on again
in the morning before dawn. These clocks are great for some applications, but it must
be noted that they cannot account for daylight savings time.
Electronic time computers for specific operations that can be programmed, up to 365
days and are typically used for traffic flashers, work shift programming and other
applications where calendar control is required.
Switches such as a remote actuated switch or spring loaded timers are used when the
lights are only required during certain times or for short spurts of time.
Each type of operation profile will be a factor in sizing up the correct solar power
assembly to operate the chosen light fixture at the wattage required. Sometimes by
looking at a project with a more set schedule of operation and not just opting for dusk
to dawn can make or break a project. Understand exactly what the operation
requirements are when working with the solar lighting specialist to design the system.

STEP 4 - CHOOSE MOUNTING HARDWARE
MOUNTING
HARDWARE & POLES
Part 4 of the solar lighting design guide
is about choosing mounting hardware.
SEPCO solar power assemblies come
standard with a 45° / 5° mounting
bracket and battery assembly mounting;
however, fixtures require mounting in
all types of arrangements. Also, pole
types need to be determined and assessed
for the project.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
18. 1 8
STEP 4 - CHOOSE MOUNTING HARDWARE
Every bracket and pole choice should be designed for the specific project requirements
and needs to meet the local wind load and EPA requirements. Understanding the
requirements for the project will ensure that the correct bracket and pole is chosen for
the project.
SEPCO fixture brackets come in a variety of styles:
SP – side of pole upsweep bracket which is available in 4’, 6’ and 8’ lengths. These are
used for roadway and parking lot lighting where the fixture needs to be out away from
the pole due to set backs or other design requirements.
ST – side of pole tenon bracket which is available in 5” and 24” lengths and comes out
straight from the pole or wall. These are used for areas where the fixture can be located
close to the pole for shining directly down.
SH – side of pole horn bracket which is typically used for flood applications where the
fixture is shining out and away from the pole or area.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
19. 1 9
STEP 4 - CHOOSE MOUNTING HARDWARE
FB – direct burial fixture bracket used for ground mounting floods and provide not only
a place to make the wire connections but also allowing the fixture to be mounted up off
the ground a bit for safety from landscapers.
Poles also come in a variety of styles and configurations:
AP or SG – aluminum or steel poles which are designed to meet wind load
requirements for holding the solar power assembly. Both manufacturing processes take
into consideration life of the pole and provide an option for powder coating and
galvanization.
AB or DB – anchor base or direct burial poles are used for most applications. This
option is determined by local project requirements. Direct burial is great for remote
power systems, parks and pathways where anchor base is typically used for parking
lots and roadways.
Other poles such as concrete and fiberglass composite can also be used for solar
lighting applications.

STEP 5 - DETERMINE POWER ASSEMBLY
Part 5 of the solar lighting design guide
is about determining the power
assembly. Now that you know what area
of coverage you are requiring by
determining the lumen requirements for
the project, as well as the required
operation profile, it is time to determine
what size solar power assembly will be
required. This is determined by a simple
calculation after some additional
information is gathered.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
21. 2 1
STEP 5 - DETERMINE POWER ASSEMBLY
Step 1 - Take the wattage of the fixture and divide by 12 to determine the amps required
to operate the fixture for 1 hour. You divide by 12 as solar power systems are typically
12 VDC; however, some are 24 VDC, but this formula will still work out correctly in the
end.
Step 2 - Multiplying the fixture amps by the number of hours of operation per night
will provide you with the total required power consumption per night. If dusk to dawn
is required, knowing the time on the longest night of the year is how this is determined.
Florida has approximately 13.25 hour nights in the winter where New York has 14.5
hour nights. Split time or after dusk for x number of hours can also be used to
determine. When dealing with motion, how many hours will it operate on average is
what is calculated.
Step 3 – Multiply the total amps required by the total number of fixtures that need to be
powered by a single solar power assembly. If 1 fixture is all that is going on the power
system, then you can skip this step. However, there are some applications, like with
signs, bollards or landscape lighting, where multiple fixtures are all used on a single
power assembly.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
22. 2 2
STEP 5 - DETERMINE POWER ASSEMBLY
Step 4 – add 20%. This extra energy is used to bring the battery back to full after a
period of inclement weather. This is also used to include a little bit of overage to ensure
that the system will operate as promised for years to come. As solar ages, the power
produces slowly degrades. After 25 years or so, the power is down around 20% from its
original production performance.
Step 5 – Divide by the total number of sun hours available in your location in the
winter. This can be found online and by looking at the local NSOL guides. Remember to
look at winter availability and not a yearly average as the system will not operate the
same during different times of the year unless sized for worst case.
Step 6 – Determine how large a power assembly is required. Each power assembly
provides a different amp current and the system needs to provide over what is
required. For example, our SEPA100 provides 5.46 +/- Amps per hour, up to 11 or so
amps in New York or 24 or so amps in Florida for a single day in the winter.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
23. 2 3
STEP 5 - DETERMINE POWER ASSEMBLY
Step 7 – Determine the battery assembly size by multiplying the number of amps
required per night by the number of days backup you require. The minimum autonomy
we provide is 5 in most applications; however, the further north the more this
increases due to depth of discharge changes with batteries in colder weather.
Understanding all these factors can make or break a system and why “off-the-shelf”
systems are not used when a reliable system design is required. Each system should be
designed for the specific project requirements and understanding all the steps above
will allow for reliable system design that will operate for 25+ years.
Watt of Fixture / 12 (VDC) x Hours of Operation + 20% / Available Sun = Required Solar
Wattage of Fixture / 12 (VDC) x Hours of Operation x 5 (Days of Backup) = Required Battery

STEP 6 - COMPLETE THE SYSTEM
FINALIZING ALL
STEPS TO ENSURE A
RELIABLE PROJECT
Part 6 of the solar lighting design guide
is putting it all together and completing
the system. The complete system works
together to operate exactly as expected.
As you can probably tell by this point,
there are many factors that are taken
into consideration when providing a
complete system and each part is
required to determine what is exactly
required for every project.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
25. 2 5
STEP 6 - COMPLETE THE SYSTEM
Part 1 covered choosing a fixture style. Knowing what fixture would fit your project
best will ensure that the project is utilizing the best lighting possible for that
application. With designs from overhead, decorative, flood and even pathway options
will allow for many options for just about all projects.
Part 2 covered determining the light output and lumen requirements of a project.
Understanding IESNA foot candle requirements for different applications as well as
light spread due to distribution patterns and spread will see a better light pattern than
just a spot of light under a fixture. Getting light footprints or complete designs
completed by a lighting designer will help determine how much light and how many
systems it will take to complete a project.
Part 3 covered the operation profile required for operation of a light. With nighttime
usage being determined at the beginning of a project helps determine how much
power is available. Implementing adaptive lighting controls or off periods when there
is no one in the area can reduce power requirements and provide a more cost feasible
solution to most projects.
Solar Lighting Design Guide www.sepco-solarlighting.com
26. 2 6
STEP 6 - COMPLETE THE SYSTEM
Part 4 provides mounting hardware options ranging from fixture brackets to attach
the fixture to the pole or ground mounting. Hardware options also provide options for
poles; ranging from direct burial to anchor base, even auger base poles, as well as
providing options for materials such as steel, aluminum, concrete and fiberglass
composite. Making sure they are manufactured to withstand the weight and EPA of
the solar power assembly is a huge part of making the project successful.
Part 5 was determining the power requirements to size the best solar power system to
put the system into operation. Knowing the constraints of available insolation in the
area of installation as well as the longest night of the year, and sizing accordingly, will
ensure a long life of a system. If you design for worst case, the system will work
properly the rest of the time.
Putting all these factors together provides the final design of each project. Working
with your solar lighting specialist to determine the requirements of the project will
ensure that all steps are taken into consideration to design the system to best fit any
project. Asking questions is the most proactive way to confirm that all designs are
built to meet the requirements of any project.
