Later on installations at the Delsjö Lakes and at Alelyckan were built, in 1870 and 1894 respectively. At the present time the City’s supply of drinking […]

Göteborg har alltsedan 1894 Göta älv som råvattentäkt. Detta har ständigt medfört kvalitetsproblem. Vattenreningen har fått anpassas efter förutsättningarna – utvecklingsarbetet måste vara målinriktat och resultera i en snabb förbättring av vattenkvalitén. Vattnet renas genom klorering, flockning, avsättning, filtrering genom aktiverat kol (activated carbon) samt desinfektion med klor och klordioxid. Vattnet efteralkaliniseras och natriumsilikatlösning tillsättes. […]

Any change in water flow rate in pipes, regardless of the rate or magnitude of change, requires that the water be accelerated or decelerated from its initial flow velocity. A force is required to change the velocity of he flow and this force occurs as a hydraulic pressure transient in the pipe. The most common […]

The first water pipe from Kallebäck completed in 1787 consisted of bored up timber of aspen and pine. It had served for 104 years when it in 1891 was replaced by a new cast iron pipe. Cast iron have since then been the dominating material of the pipes. Nowadays pipes with inside corrosion isolation of […]
