Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Course subject(s) S06 – Special topics / Recent advances

In this lecture, PhD researcher Remi Schilperoort presents two special topics in sewerage: Illicit connections between storm water drainage and foul water systems, and Influent peaks at wastewater treatment plants.
The drawbacks of illicit connections between stormwater en foulwater drainage systems are explained, followed by methods for detection of these connections. Special focus is given on the use of Distributed Temperature Sensing with fiber-optics.
Variations of incoming flows at a wastewater treatment plant are analysed based on one year of continuous in-sewer monitoring of flow and quality. Special attention is given to the flow during dry and wet weather periods.
