Characteristics of the six representative full-scale WWTPs.
The small beam specimens were helpful in verifying some assumptions and the observations from their testing and test results helped in designing representative full-scale beams and avoiding problems during the test itself.
A representative full-scale composite curved I-girder bridge, tested at the Federal Highway Administration FHWA Turner-Fairbanknk Highway Research CenTFHRCTFHRC), is utilized for assessment of the different approaches.
We studied five representative full-scale CASP treatment plants (design capacities of 12 000 to 700 000 population-equivalent), three of which included MBR systems (one full-scale and two pilot-scale) operating in parallel with the conventional systems.
As it is difficult to reproduce representative full-scale thermal loading generated by friction at reduced-scale, compromises are needed and the choice of experimental parameters, based on a non-dimensional conversion rule, is discussed.
The pilot treatment line is representative of the full scale one with a production capacity of pre-treated water of more than 500 m3/h for a desalinated water production of 250 m3/h.
A more conclusive assessment of the potential utilization of the ashes requires larger samples that are more representative of the full scale, because the ashes from the pilot-scale test likely have a lower salt content.
The results are therefore representative for full-scale applications.
To characterize the natural wind response of a representative structure, full-scale structural monitoring is conducted, and the data were incorporated into an example application of the framework.
In this research, sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were operated with hydraulic (HRT) and sludge (SRT) retention times representative of full-scale biological WWTPs for several weeks.
It is hypothesised that significant stress arching would occur in block caving mines, and therefore that the results obtained in the gravel model maybe more representative of full-scale conditions.
