Signal analysis for receiving water quality led local real time control 1: The University of Sheffield, School of Mechanical, Aerospace & Civil Engineering, Sheffield, United Kingdom; 2: Environmental Monitoring Solutions Ltd., Sheffield, United Kingdom The topic of receiving water contamination and pollution from intermittent discharges from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) has attracted recent public awareness due to the ecological and public health consequences of these discharges; both domestically in the United Kingdom (UK) and in Europe. Current real time control systems to reduce the impact of CSO intermittent discharges on the receiving water quality associate spill volume to pollutant loading. However, this approach does not directly measure the impact of spills on the receiving water quality. For an impact-based real time control system, incoming data from upstream and downstream receiving water quality monitors needs to be dynamically and autonomously scrutinised to direct control outputs. Filtering of noise from receiving water quality data is important both for regulatory and compliance determinations, as well as for real time control decisions. Signal filters are tested to filter stochastic noise from open data on receiving water quality parameters while preserving features that are beneficial for real time control. | |
