A New Approach for Predicting Residence Time Distribution of Subsurface Wastewater Infiltration System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydraulic residence time (HRT) is one of the key design parameters controlling the removal efficiency of contaminants and nutrients in subsurface wastewater infiltration system (SWIS). A two-dimensional axisymetric finite element software called SEEP/W was used to simulate unsaturated and saturated flow within SWIS. The paper presents a methodology by example for estimating residence time distribution (RTD) at the design stage of SWIS.
