  • D1d E-USE(Aq) Technical Performance & Monitoring Report
    D1d E-USE(aq) Technical performance & monitoring report Danish pilot 1 Summary Danish Pilot in Birkerød The site Hammerbakken 10 in Birkerød, Denmark is highly polluted with chlorinated solvents, especially TCE is a dominant contaminant. In laboratory studies by Environmental Technology Wageningen University it was shown that biodegradation of chlorinated solvents could be stimulated at low redox conditions at elevated temperatures like in ATES systems. The hot spot contaminated site at Hammerbakken 10 was selected by the Capital Region of Denmark (CRD) to demonstrate the stimulation of biodegradation of chlorinated solvents at pilot scale. The pilot was realized by the end of December 2017 and monitored thereafter in 2018. The ATES recirculation systems showed to operate as expected, whereas biodegradation was not stimulated in the first 6 months, as the redox was too oxic to allow biodegradation of chlorinated solvents. In June, electron donor was added to lower the redox. After July the first reductive dechlorination was monitored up to 30% dechlorination. However only DCE was formed and no significant other products as VC and finally ethene were formed. In early November a DHC culture was added, which readily resulted in a high dechlorination degree of already about 78% in monitoring well 1 within 2 weeks. Until March 2019 the wells will be further monitored for the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated solvent (mainly TCE). From the pilot experiment in 2018 it can be concluded that the ATES system as such functioned well without clogging by the presence of measurable oxygen concentrations in the first half year of operation. The applied ATES system showed to be fit to stimulate biodegradation of chlorinated solvents at optimized conditions like addition of electron donor and addition of a specific dechlorinating culture.

BACKGROUND Railway safety 2. Railway is the backbone of Hong Kong’s public transport system, the safety of which is of paramount importance. Currently, the MTR system carries more than 5 million passenger trips per day on average, accounting for about 40% of all public transport passenger trips. The MTR train service has been at a consistently high ranking in terms of safety amongst major metro systems around the world in the Community of Metros (“CoMET”)1. 3. Railway is basically a set of enormous and complicated machinery driven by electricity, which comprises hundreds of thousands of various components. The major components include trains, tracks, power supply systems, signalling systems, communication systems and control centre. These components are subject to wear and tear in daily operation. To ensure railway safety, the main focus would be on proper maintenance as a preventive measure to reduce the probability of incidents. When an incident occurs, the first 1 Currently, major metro systems in CoMET include the Beijing Subway, Berlin U-Bahn, Dehli Metro, Guangzhou Metro, Hong Kong MTR, London Underground, Mexico City Metro, Metro de Madrid, Moscow Metro, New York City Subway, Paris Métro and Paris RER, Metro de Santiago, Singapore MRT, Shanghai Metro, Metro São Paulo and Taipei Metro.

  • Lille Metro Reference-Sheet.Pdf
    Reference Sheet Transportation Lille Metro consigns pickpockets to history with UTCFS Lille Located in northern France, Lille is the principal city of the Lille Métropole, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country after Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Situated on the Deûle River, near the Belgian border, Lille is the capital of the Nord-Pas de Calais region and the préfecture of the Nord department. Transpole Lille Métropole has a mixed mode public transport system, comprising buses, trams and a driverless metro system, all operated under the Transpole name. The Lille metro is a VAL (light automated vehicle) system, opened on May 16, 1983 as the world’s first automatic metro. The metro system has two lines, with a total length of 45 km, serving 60 stations. The tram system consists of two interurban tram lines, connecting central Lille to the nearby communities of Roubaix and Tourcoing. 68 urban bus routes cover the metropolis, eight of which cross the border into Belgium. Pre-existing situation & UTCFS's role UTCFS's solution Across the entire Lille metro network there are UTCFS offered Transpole a complete video over 1,200 security cameras installed. surveillance solution. Data from the existing Transpole sought to modernise its 1,200 cameras that monitor stations and lines surveillance system to increase passenger is directly transmitted through 80 VisioWave security.
