Pipe operator

Description

See magrittr::%>% for details.

Usage

lhs %>% rhs

Arguments

lhs

A value or the magrittr placeholder.

rhs

A function call using the magrittr semantics.

Value

The result of calling rhs(lhs).


Add an ion to balance overall charge in a water

Description

This function takes a water defined by define_water and balances charge. For a single water use balance_ions; for a dataframe use balance_ions_df. Use pluck_cols = TRUE to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns.

Usage

balance_ions(water, anion = "cl", cation = "na")

balance_ions_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_water = "balanced",
  pluck_cols = FALSE,
  water_prefix = TRUE,
  anion = "cl",
  cation = "na"
)

Arguments

water

Water created with define_water, which may have some ions set to 0 when unknown

anion

Selected anion to use to for ion balance when more cations are present. Defaults to "cl". Choose one of c("cl", "so4").

cation

Selected cation to use to for ion balance when more anions are present. Defaults to "na". Choose one of c("na", "k", "ca", or "mg").

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined_water".

output_water

name of the output column storing updated water classes. Default is "balanced_water".

pluck_cols

Extract water slots modified by the function (selected cation and anion) into new numeric columns for easy access. Default to FALSE.

water_prefix

Append the output_water name to the start of the plucked columns. Default is TRUE.

Details

If more cations are needed, sodium will be added. User may specify which cation ("na", "k", "ca", or "mg") to use for balancing. If calcium and magnesium are not specified when defining a water with define_water, they will default to 0 and not be changed by this function unless specified in the cation argument. Anions are added by default with chloride. User may specify which anion ("cl", "so4") to use for balancing. This function is purely mathematical. User should always check the outputs to make sure values are reasonable for the input source water.

Value

balance_ions returns a single water class object with updated ions to balance water charge.

balance_ions_df returns a dataframe with a new column with the ion balanced water

Examples

water_defined <- define_water(7, 20, 50, 100, 80, 10, 10, 10, 10) %>%
  balance_ions()

water_defined <- define_water(7, 20, 50, tot_hard = 150) %>%
  balance_ions(anion = "so4")

example_df <- water_df %>%
  define_water_df() %>%
  balance_ions_df(anion = "so4", cation = "ca")


Determine TOC removal from biofiltration using Terry & Summers, Peterson & Summers, or Terry et al models

Description

This function applies the Terry model to a water created by define_water to determine biofiltered DOC (mg/L). The Terry & Summers (2018) model does not adjust for ozone dose but assumes a constant biodegradable fraction based on whether or not the water was ozonated. When the reuse argument is TRUE, the Peterson and Summers (2021) model is used to determine biofiltered TOC (mg/L). The Peterson & Summers (2021) model does not adjust for temperature impacts due to a lack of collected temperature data in the metanalysis literature. Peterson & Summers (2021) is also a TOC-basis model, so the output water object's BDOC slot will not be updated. If a lab-measured ATP concentration is known, the Terry et al. (2024) model can be used to determine biofiltered DOC (mg/L) for both drinking water and reuse. The Terry et al. (2024) model has similar BDOC assumptions as Terry & Summers (2018), but the model ATP value can be adjusted for biofilter water temperature. For all three models, all particulate TOC is assumed to be removed so TOC = DOC. For a single water use biofilter_toc; for a dataframe use biofilter_toc_df. Use pluck_cols = TRUE to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns. For most arguments in the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

biofilter_toc(
  water,
  ebct,
  ozonated = TRUE,
  ozone_dose = 0,
  reuse = FALSE,
  media_type = "anthracite",
  atp = 0
)

biofilter_toc_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_water = "biofiltered",
  pluck_cols = FALSE,
  water_prefix = TRUE,
  ebct = "use_col",
  ozonated = "use_col",
  ozone_dose = "use_col",
  reuse = "use_col",
  media_type = "use_col",
  atp = "use_col"
)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class "water" created by define_water.

ebct

The empty bed contact time (min) used for the biofilter.

ozonated

Logical; TRUE if the water is ozonated (default), FALSE otherwise. Used by the Terry & Summers (2018) model and to select the BDOC fraction for reuse waters in the Terry et al. (2024) ATP model. Ignored by the Peterson & Summers (2021) model, which uses ozone_dose instead.

ozone_dose

The ozone dose (mg/L) applied to the water. Only used if reuse = TRUE.

reuse

Logical; TRUE if the water is effluent from a reuse treatment process, FALSE otherwise. If TRUE, the Peterson and Summers (2021) model is used to determine TOC removal. If FALSE, the Terry and Summers (2018) model is used to determine BDOC removal.

media_type

The type of media used in the biofilter. Default is "anthracite", other options are "gac" and "sand". Only used if reuse = TRUE.

atp

The measured adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration at the top of the biofilter (ng/mL at 22 degrees Celcius). Optional argument that will use Terry et al. (2024) model for both drinking water and reuse if nonzero value is provided. (This will also ignore ozone dose and media type for reuse models.) Defaults to 0.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df. The df may include a column indicating the EBCT or whether the water is ozonated.

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_water

name of the output column storing updated water class object. Default is "biofiltered".

pluck_cols

Extract water slots modified by the function (doc, toc, bdoc) into new numeric columns for easy access. Default to FALSE.

water_prefix

Append the output_water name to the start of the plucked columns. Default is TRUE.

Value

biofilter_toc returns water class object with modeled DOC removal from biofiltration.

biofilter_toc_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated DOC, TOC, and BDOC concentrations. Optionally, it also adds columns for each of those slots individually.

Calculate six corrosion and scaling indices (AI, RI, LSI, LI, CSMR, CCPP)

Description

This function takes an object created by define_water and calculates corrosion and scaling indices. For a single water, use calculate_corrosion; to apply the calculations to a dataframe, use calculate_corrosion_df.

Usage

calculate_corrosion(
  water,
  index = c("aggressive", "ryznar", "langelier", "ccpp", "larsonskold", "csmr"),
  form = "calcite"
)

calculate_corrosion_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  water_prefix = TRUE,
  index = c("aggressive", "ryznar", "langelier", "ccpp", "larsonskold", "csmr"),
  form = "calcite"
)

Arguments

water

Source water of class "water" created by define_water

index

The indices to be calculated. Default calculates all six indices: "aggressive", "ryznar", "langelier", "ccpp", "larsonskold", "csmr" CCPP may not be able to be calculated sometimes, so it may be advantageous to leave this out of the function to avoid errors

form

Form of calcium carbonate mineral to use for modelling solubility in the Langelier and Ryznar indices: "calcite" (default), "aragonite", or "vaterite". CCPP always uses calcite.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, created using define_water

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input. Default is "defined".

water_prefix

append water name to beginning of output columns. Defaults to TRUE

Details

Aggressiveness Index (AI), unitless - the corrosive tendency of water and its effect on asbestos cement pipe.

Ryznar Index (RI), unitless - a measure of scaling potential.

Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), unitless - describes the potential for calcium carbonate scale formation. Equations use empirical calcium carbonate solubilities from Plummer and Busenberg (1982) and Crittenden et al. (2012) rather than calculated from the concentrations of calcium and carbonate in the water.

Larson-skold Index (LI), unitless - describes the corrosivity towards mild steel.

Chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio (CSMR), mg Cl/mg SO4 - indicator of galvanic corrosion for lead solder pipe joints.

Calcium carbonate precipitation potential (CCPP), mg/L as CaCO3 - a prediction of the mass of calcium carbonate that will precipitate at equilibrium. A positive CCPP value indicates the amount of CaCO3 (mg/L as CaCO3) that will precipitate. A negative CCPP indicates how much CaCO3 can be dissolved in the water. CCPP is always calculated against calcite solubility, following Merrill and Sanks (1977a, 1977b, 1978) and Trussell (1998); the form argument does not affect CCPP.

If chloride or sulfate is missing, the Larson-Skold index and CSMR are returned as NA with a warning, and the other requested indices are still calculated.

Value

calculate_corrosion returns a data frame with corrosion and scaling indices as individual columns.

calculate_corrosion_df returns the a data frame containing specified corrosion and scaling indices as columns.

Required arguments include an object of class "water" created by define_water, chlorine dose, and reaction time. The function also requires additional water quality parameters defined in define_water including temperature, pH, and alkalinity. For a single water use chemdose_chloramine; for a dataframe use chemdose_chloramine_df. Use pluck_cols = TRUE to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns. For most arguments in the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Details

Required arguments include an object of class "water" created by define_water, applied chlorine/chloramine dose, type, reaction time, and treatment applied (options include "raw" for no treatment, or "coag" for coagulated water). The function also requires additional water quality parameters defined in define_water including TOC and UV254. The output is a new "water" class with the calculated total chlorine value stored in the 'free_chlorine' or 'combined_chlorine' slot, depending on what type of chlorine is dosed. When modeling residual concentrations through a unit process, the U.S. EPA Water Treatment Plant Model applies a correction factor based on the influent and effluent residual concentrations (see U.S. EPA (2001) equation 5-118) that may need to be applied manually by the user based on the output.

Value

chemdose_chlordecay returns an updated disinfectant residual in the free_chlorine or combined_chlorine water slot in units of M. Use convert_units to convert to mg/L.

chemdose_chlordecay_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated free_chlorine or combined_chlorine residuals. Optionally, it also adds columns for each of those slots individually.

Calculate DBP formation

Description

Calculates disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation based on the U.S. EPA's Water Treatment Plant Model (U.S. EPA, 2001). Required arguments include an object of class "water" created by define_water chlorine dose, type, reaction time, and treatment applied (if any). The function also requires additional water quality parameters defined in define_water including bromide, TOC, UV254, temperature, and pH.

For a single water use chemdose_dbp; for a dataframe use chemdose_dbp_df. Use pluck_cols = TRUE to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns. For most arguments in the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

chemdose_dbp(
  water,
  cl2,
  time,
  treatment = "raw",
  cl_type = "chorine",
  location = "plant",
  correction = TRUE,
  coeff = NULL

location

Location for DBP formation, either in the "plant" (default), or in the distributions system, "ds".

correction

Model calculations are adjusted based on location and cl_type. Default value is TRUE.

coeff

Optional input to specify custom coefficients to the dbp model. Must be a data frame with the following columns: ID, and the corresponding coefficients A, a, b, c, d, e, f, and ph_const for each dbp of interest. Default value is NULL.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water. The df may include columns for the other function arguments.

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_water

name of the output column storing updated water class object. Default is "disinfected".

pluck_cols

Extract primary water slots modified by the function (tthm, haa5) into new numeric columns for easy access with TRUE. Alternatively, specify "all" to get all DBP species in addition: (tthm, chcl3, chcl2br, chbr2cl, chbr3, haa5, mcaa, dcaa, tcaa, mbaa, dbaa) Defaults to FALSE.

water_prefix

Append the output_water name to the start of the plucked columns. Default is TRUE.

keep_dose_cols

Option to keep the original chemical dose columns in the output data frame. Default is FALSE.

Details

The function will calculate haloacetic acids (HAA) as HAA5, and total trihalomethanes (TTHM). Use summarize_wq(water, params = c("dbps")) to quickly tabulate the results.

Value

chemdose_dbp returns a single water class object with predicted DBP concentrations.

chemdose_dbp_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated tthm, chcl3, chcl2br, chbr2cl, chbr3, haa5, mcaa, dcaa, tcaa, mbaa, dbaa concentrations. Optionally, it also adds columns for those slots individually.

Inorganic Oxidant Demand

Description

Calculates Cl residual from inorganic scavengers present in the input water object: Mg, Fe, and Ammonia. The output water will have updated free_chlorine slot to reflect the chlorine residual after accounting for the inorganic demand. The mn, fe, and tot_nh3 slots will be set to 0, as they are assumed to be fully oxidized by the chlorine dose. Other products of the oxidation reactions will not be tracked or updated in the output water object. For a single water use chemdose_inorgdemand; to apply the model to a dataframe use chemdose_inorgdemand_df.

By default (use_chlorine_slot = FALSE), the output free_chlorine is cl2_dose minus the inorganic demand, and any free chlorine already in the water is overwritten (with a warning). Set use_chlorine_slot = TRUE to add the existing free_chlorine slot to cl2_dose before the demand is subtracted. If cl2_dose is not specified, the existing free_chlorine slot is used (with a warning when use_chlorine_slot = FALSE). The function errors if the inorganic demand is greater than the available chlorine.

The inorganic demand of ammonia is calculated assuming all ammonia is converted to nitrogen gas, not considering the conversion of ammonia to nitrate. For chloramine chemistry, use chemdose_chloramine if interested in more precise breakpoint chlorination calculations.

Usage

chemdose_inorgdemand(water, cl2_dose, use_chlorine_slot = FALSE)

chemdose_inorgdemand_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_water = "oxidized",
  pluck_cols = FALSE,
  water_prefix = TRUE,
  keep_dose_cols = FALSE,
  cl2_dose = "use_col",
  use_chlorine_slot = "use_col"
)

Arguments

cl2_dose

Chlorine dose in mg/L Cl2.

use_chlorine_slot

Defaults to FALSE. When TRUE, the existing free_chlorine slot in the water is added to cl2_dose. If cl2_dose is not specified, only the chlorine slot will be used, regardless of use_chlorine_slot.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df. The df may include columns for the chlorine dose (cl2_dose) and use_chlorine_slot.

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_water

name of the output column storing updated water class object. Default is "oxidized".

pluck_cols

Extract the free_chlorine slot into a new numeric column for easy access. Default to FALSE.

water_prefix

Append the output_water name to the start of the plucked columns. Default is TRUE.

keep_dose_cols

Option to keep the original chemical dose columns in the output data frame. Default is FALSE.

Value

chemdose_inorgdemand returns a water class object with updated free_chlorine slot that reflects the chlorine residual.

chemdose_inorgdemand_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated free_chlorine, mn, fe, and tot_nh3 slots. Optionally, it also adds a column for free_chlorine.

Determine TOC removal from coagulation

Description

This function applies the Edwards (1997) model to a water created by define_water to determine coagulated DOC. Reuse waters with effluent organic matter (EfOM) can be modeled by selecting one of the Wilder & Korak (2025) models with coeff. Reuse models apply only to aluminum coagulants (alum, ACH, PACl). Model assumes all particulate TOC is removed; therefore TOC = DOC in output. Coagulated UVA is from U.S. EPA (2001) equation 5-80 for Edwards (1997) model and a regression for the Wilder & Korak (2025) model. Note that the models rely on pH of coagulation. If only raw water pH is known, utilize chemdose_ph first. For a single water use chemdose_toc; for a dataframe use chemdose_toc_df. Use pluck_cols = TRUE to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns. For most arguments in the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

value

Value of flow rate to be converted

startunit

Current units of flow rate

endunit

Desired units of flow rate

sg

Calculate unit conversions for common compounds

Description

This function takes a value and converts units based on compound name.

Usage

convert_units(value, formula = NULL, startunit = "mg/L", endunit = "M")

Arguments

value

Value to be converted

formula

Chemical formula of compound; accepts compounds in mweights. Optional when converting within the same unit type and basis (e.g., mg/L to g/L, mM to M, meq/L to eq/L, or mg/L CaCO3 to g/L CaCO3).

startunit

Units of current value, currently accepts g/L; g/L CaCO3; g/L N; g/L P; g/L Cl2; M; eq/L; and the same units with "m", "u", "n" prefixes

endunit

Desired units, currently accepts same as start units

Details

Mass concentrations may be expressed as CaCO3, N, P, or molecular chlorine (Cl2). Mass as CaCO3 is an equivalents basis: 1 eq of the compound = 50 g as CaCO3, so 61 mg/L HCO3 is 50 mg/L as CaCO3. Mass as N or P counts the atoms in the compound: 1 mol of (NH4)2SO4 is 28 g as N. Mass as Cl2 counts oxidizing capacity: 1 mol of NHCl2 is 2 mol as Cl2. "mg/L Cl" is treated as "mg/L Cl2".

Value

A numeric value for the converted parameter.

Examples

convert_units(50, "ca") # converts from mg/L to M by default
convert_units(50, "ca", "mg/L", "mg/L CaCO3")
convert_units(50, "ca", startunit = "mg/L", endunit = "eq/L")


Convert water class object to a dataframe

Description

This converts a water class to a dataframe with individual columns for each slot (water quality parameter) in the water. This is useful for one-off checks. For typical applications, use pluck_cols = TRUE in any ⁠_df⁠ function or pluck_water to choose relevant slots.

Use convert_water to keep all slots in the same units as the water.

Use convert_watermg to convert to more typical units. Converts all non-NA water slots with ions to mg/L, with the exception of br and mn, which are converted to ug/L. Total silicate is converted to mg/L as SiO2, and citrate species are converted to mg/L as citric acid, matching the define_water inputs. All other values remain unchanged.

The ks slot (a data frame of corrected equilibrium constants) is not included in the output. Access it directly with water@ks.

Usage

convert_water(water)

convert_watermg(water)

Arguments

water

A water class object

Value

A data frame containing columns for all non-NA water slots, except ks.

Apply decarbonation to a water

Description

Calculates the new water quality (pH, alkalinity, etc) after a specified amount of CO2 is removed (removed as bicarbonate). The function takes an object of class "water" and a fraction of CO2 removed, then returns a water class object with updated water slots. For a single water, use decarbonate_ph; to apply the model to a dataframe, use decarbonate_ph_df. For a single water use chemdose_toc; for a dataframe use chemdose_toc_df. Use pluck_cols = TRUE to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns. For most arguments in the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

decarbonate_ph(water, co2_removed)

decarbonate_ph_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_water = "decarbonated",
  pluck_cols = FALSE,
  water_prefix = TRUE,
  co2_removed = "use_col"
)

Arguments

water

Source water of class "water" created by define_water

co2_removed

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df. The df may include a column with names for each of the chemicals being dosed.

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_water

name of the output column storing updated water class object. Default is "decarbonated".

pluck_cols

Extract water slots modified by the function (ph, alk) into new numeric columns for easy access. Default to FALSE.

water_prefix

Append the output_water name to the start of the plucked columns. Default is TRUE.

Details

decarbonate_ph uses water@h2co3 to determine the existing CO2 in water, then applies chemdose_ph to match the CO2 removal.

Value

A water with updated pH/alk/etc.

decarbonate_ph_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated ph and alk (and pH dependent ions). Optionally, it also adds columns for each of those slots individually.

Dissociation constants and standard enthalpy for weak acids/bases

Description

Equilibrium constants (k) and corresponding standard enthalpy of reaction values (deltah) for significant acids in water influencing pH at equilibrium. Includes carbonate, sulfate, phosphate, and hypochlorite. Standard enthalpy of reaction is calculated by taking the sum of the enthalpy of formation of each individual component minus the enthalpy of formation of the final product. e.g., the standard enthalpy of reaction for water can be calculated as: deltah_h2o = deltah_f_oh + deltah_f_h - deltah_f_h2o = -230 + 0 - (-285.83) = 55.83 kJ/mol. See MWH (2012) example 5-5 and Benjamin (2002) eq. 2.96.

Calculate Dissolved Copper Concentration

Description

This function takes a water defined by defined_water and output a column of dissolved copper. It is an empirical model developed based on bench-scale copper solubility testing that can be used to predict copper levels as a function of pH, DIC, and orthophosphate. For a single water, use dissolve_cu; to apply the model to a dataframe use dissolve_cu_df.

Usage

dissolve_cu(water)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class "water" created by define_water. Water must include ph and dic

Details

Dissolved copper is a function of pH, DIC (mg/L as C), and orthophosphate (mg/L as PO4). Output units are in mg/L. The model was fit on waters with pH 6.48 to 8.52, orthophosphate 0.2 to 3.1 mg/L as PO4, and DIC of 10, 50, and 100 mg/L as C (Lytle et al. 2018, equation 1); a warning is given for inputs outside these ranges.

DIC is not an input: define_water calculates it from pH and alkalinity. Lytle et al. (2018) give no alkalinity range, and the alkalinity that corresponds to a given DIC depends on pH. At 25 C, the 10 to 100 mg/L as C DIC range is roughly 24 to 244 mg/L as CaCO3 alkalinity at pH 6.5, 34 to 340 at pH 7, 39 to 390 at pH 7.5, and 41 to 410 at pH 8.

Value

dissolve_cu returns a column containing dissolved copper concentration in mg/L.

  define_water_df() %>%
  dissolve_cu_df()


Simulate contributions of various lead solids to total soluble lead

Description

This function takes a water data frame defined by define_water and outputs a dataframe of the controlling lead solid and total lead solubility. Lead solid solubility is calculated based on controlling solid. Total dissolved lead species (tot_dissolved_pb, M) are calculated based on lead complex calculations. For a single water, use dissolve_pb; to apply the model to a dataframe, use dissolve_pb_df. For most arguments, the ⁠_df⁠ "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

dissolve_pb(
  water,
  hydroxypyromorphite = "Schock",
  pyromorphite = "Topolska",
  laurionite = "Nasanen"
)

dissolve_pb_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_col_solid = "controlling_solid",
  output_col_result = "pb",
  hydroxypyromorphite = "Schock",
  pyromorphite = "Topolska",
  laurionite = "Nasanen",
  water_prefix = TRUE
)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class "water" created by define_water. Water must include alk and is. If po4, cl, and so4 are known, those should also be included.

hydroxypyromorphite

defaults to "Schock", the constant, K, developed by Schock et al (1996). Can also use "Zhu".

pyromorphite

defaults to "Topolska", the constant, K, developed by Topolska et al (2016). Can also use "Xie".

laurionite

defaults to "Nasanen", the constant, K, developed by Nasanen & Lindell (1976). Can also use "Lothenbach".

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input. Default is "defined_water".

output_col_solid

name of the output column storing the controlling lead solid. Default is "controlling_solid".

output_col_result

name of the output column storing dissolved lead in M. Default is "pb".

water_prefix

name of the input water used for the calculation, appended to the start of output columns. Default is TRUE. Change to FALSE to remove the water prefix from output column names.

Details

The solid with lowest solubility will form the lead scale (controlling lead solid). Some lead solids have two k-constant options. The function will default to the EPA's default constants. The user may change the constants to hydroxypyromorphite = "Zhu" or pyromorphite = "Xie" or laurionite = "Lothenbach"

Make sure that total dissolved solids, conductivity, or ca, na, cl, so4 are used in define_water so that an ionic strength is calculated.

Value

dissolve_pb returns a one row data frame containing only the controlling lead solid and modeled dissolved lead concentration.

dissolve_pb_df returns a data frame containing the controlling lead solid and modeled dissolved lead concentration as new columns.

Calculate TOC Concentration in GAC system

Description

Calculates TOC concentration after passing through GAC treatment according to the model developed in "Modeling TOC Breakthrough in Granular Activated Carbon Adsorbers" by Zachman and Summers (2010), or the logistics curve approach in EPA WTP Model v. 2.0 Manual (2001). For a single water use gac_toc; for a dataframe use gac_toc_df. Use pluck_water to get values from the output water as new dataframe columns. For most arguments in the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Water must contain a DOC value (or TOC, from which define_water estimates DOC).

Usage

gac_toc(
  water,
  ebct = 10,
  model = "Zachman",
  media_size = "12x40",
  bed_vol,
  pretreat = "coag"

gac_toc_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_water = "gaced",
  model = "use_col",
  pluck_cols = FALSE,
  water_prefix = TRUE,
  media_size = "use_col",
  ebct = "use_col",
  bed_vol = "use_col",
  pretreat = "use_col"
)

Arguments

Specifies the level of pretreatment prior to GAC treatment. Defaults to "coag". Other option is coagulant, ozonation, and biotreatment, called "o3biof".

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df. The df may include columns named for the media_size, ebct, and bed volume.

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_water

Details

GAC model for TOC removal

The function will calculate DOC concentration by GAC adsorption in drinking water treatment. Both models were published in terms of TOC. GAC influent is normally coagulated and filtered, so particulate organic carbon is negligible and TOC = DOC; tidywater therefore applies the models to influent DOC. Effluent TOC is set equal to effluent DOC. UV254 concentrations are predicted based on a linear relationship with DOC from WTP Model Equation 5-93 and 5-94.

Value

gac_toc returns a water class object with updated DOC, TOC, and UV254 slots.

gac_toc_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated DOC, TOC, and UV254 slots

Modify slots in a water class object

Description

This function modifies selected slots of a water class object without impacting the other parameters. For example, you can manually update "tthm" and the new speciation will not be calculated. This function is designed to make sure all parameters are stored in the correct units when manually updating a water. Some slots cannot be modified with this function because they are interconnected with too many others (usually pH dependent, eg, hco3). For those parameters, update define_water.

Usage

modify_water(water, slot, value, units)

modify_water_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_water = "modified",
  slot = "use_col",
  value = "use_col",
  units = "use_col"
)

Arguments

water

A water class object

slot

A vector of slots in the water to modify, eg, "tthm"

value

A vector of new values for the modified slots

units

A vector of units for each value being entered, typically one of c("mg/L", "ug/L", "M", "cm-1"). For ions any units supported by convert_units are allowed. For organic carbon, one of "mg/L", "ug/L". For uv254 one of "cm-1", "m-1". For DBPs, one of "ug/L" or "mg/L".

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_water

name of the output column storing updated parameters with the class, water. Default is "modified".

Details

In modify_water_df, slot, value, and units can each be a constant, an unquoted column name, or left as "use_col" to read a column of the same name ("slot", "value", "units"). Constants are applied to every row as given, so slot = c("br", "na"), value = c(50, 60), units = c("ug/L", "mg/L") sets both slots on each water. Unlike other ⁠_df⁠ functions, vector constants are not expanded into one row per combination. Columns are read row by row.

Value

A data frame containing columns of selected parameters from a list of water class objects.

modify_water_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated slot

Examples

water1 <- define_water(ph = 7, alk = 100, tds = 100, toc = 5) %>%
  modify_water(slot = "toc", value = 4, units = "mg/L")

water2 <- define_water(ph = 7, alk = 100, tds = 100, toc = 5, ca = 10) %>%
  modify_water(slot = c("ca", "toc"), value = c(20, 10), units = c("mg/L", "mg/L"))


example_df <- water_df %>%
  define_water_df() %>%
  dplyr::mutate(bromide = 50) %>%
  modify_water_df(slot = "br", value = bromide, units = "ug/L")

example_df <- water_df %>%
  define_water_df() %>%

Calculate pH for water in an open system

Description

Calculates the new water quality (pH, alkalinity, pH dependent ions) for a water in an open system where CO2(aq) is at equilibrium with atmospheric CO2. The function takes an object of class "water" and the partial pressure of CO2, then returns a water class object with updated water slots. For a single water, use opensys_ph; to apply the model to a dataframe, use opensys_ph_df. For most arguments, the '_df helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

opensys_ph(water, partialpressure = 10^-3.42)

opensys_ph_df(

water_prefix

Append the output_water name to the start of the plucked columns. Default is TRUE.

Details

opensys_ph uses the equilibrium concentration of CO2(aq) to determine the concentrations of carbonate species in the water and the pH by solving for the CO2 dose that results in a H2CO3 concentration equal to CO2(aq).

Value

A water with updated pH/alk/etc.

opensys_ph_df returns a data frame containing a water class column with updated ph and alk (and pH dependent ions). Optionally, it also adds columns for each of those slots individually.

OH radical scavenging function

Description

The background hydroxyl radical scavenging term is a measure of the degradation rate of non-target constituents in a water. The term is defined as the sum of the reaction rate of the constituent multiplied by the concentration of the constituent: ⁠sum(k_i * [C]i)⁠ where k_i is the reaction rate of a contaminant and ⁠[C]i⁠ its concentration. Supporting Information in Wang et al. 2019 provides the definition and additional methods for calculating background scavenging. For a data frame of waters, use scavenge_oh_df, which adds the scavenging term as a new column.

Usage

scavenge_oh(water, dose = 0, kdoc_adjust = 25000)

scavenge_oh_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_column = "oh_scavenging",
  dose = "use_col",
  kdoc_adjust = "use_col"
)

Arguments

water

Source water of tidywater 'water' object type

dose

Hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) dose applied in mg/L, defaults to 0

kdoc_adjust

Optional input for a different k_DOC rate constant for fitting data, defaults to 2.5e4 L/mg C/s. See Details for other reported values.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df. The df may include columns named for the H2O2 dose in mg/L and the DOC rate constant.

input_water

name of the column of water class data to be used as the input. Default is "defined".

output_column

name of the output column storing the OH radical scavenging term in s^-1. Default is "oh_scavenging".

Details

Rate constants used in the code:

Other reported DOC rate constants, for use as kdoc_adjust. Sources report these per mole of carbon (M_C^-1 s^-1); they are converted to L/mg C/s by dividing by 12,011 mg C/mol. Brezonik and Katsoyiannis values are as compiled in Wols and Hofman-Caris (2012), Table 2.

Value

scavenge_oh returns the total background hydroxyl radical scavenging term in units of s^-1.

scavenge_oh_df returns a data frame containing the original data frame and a column with the background hydroxyl radical scavenging term in s^-1.

Determine disinfection credit from chlorine.

Description

This function takes a water defined by define_water and other disinfection parameters and outputs a data frame of the required CT (ct_required), actual CT (ct_actual), and giardia log removal (glog_removal). For a single water, use solvect_chlorine; to apply the model to a dataframe, use solvect_chlorine_df. For most arguments, the ⁠_df⁠ helpers "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

solvect_chlorine(water, time, residual, baffle, free_cl_slot = "residual_only")

solvect_chlorine_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  time = "use_col",
  residual = "use_col",
  baffle = "use_col",
  free_cl_slot = "residual_only",
  water_prefix = TRUE
)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class "water" created by define_water. Water must include ph and temp

time

Retention time of disinfection segment in minutes.

residual

Minimum chlorine residual in disinfection segment in mg/L as Cl2.

baffle

Baffle factor - unitless value between 0 and 1.

free_cl_slot

Defaults to "residual_only", which uses the residual argument. If "slot_only", the model will use the free_chlorine slot in the input water. "sum_with_residual", will use the sum of the residual argument and the free_chlorine slot.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df

input_water

name of the column of Water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined_water".

water_prefix

name of the input water used for the calculation will be appended to the start of output columns. Default is TRUE.

Details

CT actual is a function of time, chlorine residual, and baffle factor, whereas CT required is a function of pH, temperature, chlorine residual, and the standard 0.5 log removal of giardia requirement. CT required is an empirical regression equation developed by Smith et al. (1995) to provide conservative estimates for CT tables in USEPA Disinfection Profiling Guidance. Log removal is a rearrangement of the CT equations.

Value

solvect_chlorine returns a data frame containing required CT (mg/Lmin), actual CT (mg/Lmin), giardia log removal, and virus log removal.

solvect_chlorine_df returns a data frame containing the original data frame and columns for required CT, actual CT, and giardia log removal.

Determine disinfection credit from ozone.

Description

This function takes a water defined by define_water() and the first order decay curve parameters from an ozone dose and outputs a dataframe of actual CT, and log removal for giardia, virus, and crypto. For a single water, use solvect_o3; to apply the model to a dataframe, use solvect_o3_df. For most arguments, the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

solvect_o3(water, time, dose, kd, baffle)

solvect_o3_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  time = "use_col",
  dose = "use_col",
  kd = "use_col",
  baffle = "use_col",
  water_prefix = TRUE
)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class "water" created by define_water(). Water must include ph and temp

time

Retention time of disinfection segment in minutes.

dose

Ozone dose in mg/L. This value can also be the y intercept of the decay curve (often slightly lower than ozone dose.)

kd

First order decay constant. This parameter is optional. If not specified, the default ozone decay equations will be used.

baffle

Baffle factor - unitless value between 0 and 1.

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df().

input_water

name of the column of Water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined_water".

water_prefix

name of the input water used for the calculation will be appended to the start of output columns. Default is TRUE.

Details

First order decay curve for ozone has the form: residual = dose * exp(kd*time). kd should be a negative number. Actual CT is an integration of the first order curve. The first 30 seconds are removed from the integral to account for instantaneous demand. CT is set to 0 when the contact time is shorter than those 30 seconds.

When kd is not specified, a default decay curve is used from the Water Treatment Plant Model (2002). This model does not perform well for ozone decay, so specifying the decay curve is recommended.

Value

solvect_o3 returns a data frame containing actual CT (mg/L*min), giardia log removal, virus log removal, and crypto log removal.

solvect_o3_df returns a data frame containing the original data frame and columns for required CT, actual CT, and giardia log removal.

Determine ozone decay

Description

This function applies the ozone decay model to a water from U.S. EPA (2001) equation 5-128. For a single water, use solveresid_o3; to apply the model to a dataframe, use solveresid_o3_df. For most arguments, the ⁠_df⁠ helper "use_col" default looks for a column of the same name in the dataframe. The argument can be specified directly in the function instead or an unquoted column name can be provided.

Usage

solveresid_o3(water, dose, time)

solveresid_o3_df(
  df,
  input_water = "defined",
  output_column = "o3resid",
  dose = "use_col",
  time = "use_col"
)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class water created by define_water

dose

Applied ozone dose in mg/L

time

Ozone contact time in minutes

df

a data frame containing a water class column, which has already been computed using define_water_df

input_water

name of the column of Water class data to be used as the input for this function. Default is "defined".

output_column

name of the output column storing doses in mg/L. Default is "dose_required".

Value

solveresid_o3 returns a numeric value for the residual ozone. The residual is 0 when the modeled ozone demand exceeds the dose.

solveresid_o3_df returns a data frame containing the original data frame and columns for ozone dosed, time, and ozone residual.
