Evaluating the performance of low-energy feed forward osmosis system for desalination using impaired and saline water sources
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Forward Osmosis (FO) is a natural process of treating water or wastewater due to the difference in osmotic pressures. FO is a membrane separation technology, applicable to food processing, industrial wastewater treatment ... -
Modelling of combined sewer overflow impacts on the receiving water quality: case studies Hron and Drava
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Paper analyses the influences of combined sewer overflows (CSO’s), on the receiving water quality, but generally deals also with various types of storm water management in urban areas. The first case study analyses the ... -
Reduction of apparent water losses
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The water loss levels are very different between European countries as water loss varies from 7% to 50%. According to data from the Lithuanian Water Supply Association, in 2015 about 124 mln. m³ of ground water was supplied ... -
Analysis of requirements for effluent quality and their impact on status of rivers
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The article analyses Lithuanian rivers, 32 of which have been selected as non-complying with the requirements of good condition. Furthermore, 15 discharge facilities that discharge wastewater to the aforementioned rivers ... -
Preliminary results from the removal of Phosphorus compounds with selected sorption material
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Due to the fact that resources of phosphorous are limited and are expected to get exhausted in the next 30 years the management of this resource has become extremely important. Most of the phosphorus compounds are lost ... -
Determination of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in lowland streams with occurrence of dead zones
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Paper describes the field tracer experiments – determination of the coefficient of longitudinal dispersion in streams of lowland type (channels, small slopes and velocities) with expected occurrence of dead zones. Tracer ... -
Local prediction of precipitation based on neural network
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The paper is focused on analysis of local neural network model of precipitation. We use basic multilayer perceptron neural network with the time-window on input data to predict the precipitation. We predict the precipitation ... -
Determination of relation between the quaternary sediments and land use dissemination on the basis of Šventoji river basin
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)On preparing of the first management plans of River Basin Districts have been found that diffuse agricultural pollution is one of the most important causing factor and the most significant impact on the quality of water ... -
Removal of humic substances in water by granular activated carbon
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The basic characteristics of humic substances and their negative influence on water quality and its treatment are described. The paper presents the results of removing humic substances from water from the Hriňová (Slovakia) ... -
Efficiency of removal of iron, manganese, ammonium and organic matter from groundwater
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The acceptable concentrations in groundwater are usually in excess of iron, ammonium and manganese. These compounds are inefficiently removed by means of ordinary technologies of ammonium ions, iron and manganese compounds ... -
Trend detection in precipitation data in climatic station
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Trends and changes in precipitation extremes have been a focus of research over the past decade. Observations show that changes are occurring in the amount, intensity, frequency and type of precipitation. Climate variability ... -
