Sewex Modelling Tool for Corrosion & Odour Management

Annual Conference

Sewer corrosion and odour problems are common worldwide costing water utilities hundreds of millions of dollars annually in sewer rehabilitation and odour mitigation actions.

In 2013, the University of Queensland’s Advanced Water Management Centre (AWMC) completed a 5 year $20M Sewer Corrosion & Odour Research (SCORe) project. This project was supported by the Australian Research Council Industry Linkage Grant, nine Australia water utilities, six universities and one consulting company. The SCORe project generated innovative tools, including the SeweX modeling tool, for optimal management of corrosion and odour problems in sewers. Since then, the AWMC used the SeweX modeling tool to assist many water utilities to improve their corrosion and odour management effort.

This paper provides a description of the SeweX model and results of many real-life applications as case studies. These case studies include optimization of existing chemical dosing facility for corrosion and odour control, online process control of chemical dosing facility and integrated corrosion and odour management plan for a large wastewater system.
