Application of optical tomography in the study of discolouration in drinking water distribution systems
KWR Watercycle Research Institute, P.O. Box 1072, 3430 BB Nieuwegein, The Netherlands
Abstract. Theories describing the turbulent deposition of particles from aerosols have recently been applied to drinking water distribution. In order to allow the study of these processes in a quantitative way and internally observe a cloud of suspended particles in a pipe, we have developed an optical tomography technique and measuring device using low cost electronic components specifically for this application. The mathematical methodology and the electronic device are described in this paper, and tests of both the mathematical approach and the actual device are presented. We conclude that the described methodology may provide a valuable tool for the study of processes related to drinking water discolouration in the lab.
