Frequency-domain and time-domain electromagnetic methods were used to investigate groundwater contamination at an active brine pit in southwestern Manitoba, Canada. The objectives of the survey were to delineate contamination suspected to be occuring at the site and to compare frequency-domain electromagnetic (FDEM) and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) measurements in a survey area containing pipelines, fences, and power lines. The survey successfully delineated a region of high conductivity around brine pit, confirming that leakage is occurring from the pit. Modelling of the FDEM results suggests the contamination is spreading within a series of shallow sand units. Comparison of FDEM and TDEM survey results indicate that small-separation FDEM systems are much more useful for mapping in a developed area containing sources of cultural noise. The FDEM systems permit rapid mapping of spatial variations in conductivity, are affected to only a limited degree by cultural features, and provide some resolution of the depth variation of conductivity at shallow depth. It was not possible to obtain useful TDEM measurements anywhere near the active brine pit because of the signal distortion in the late-time response. Key words: geophysics, electromagnetic, brine pit, saline contamination.

AbstractWhen in-line cells are used for obtaining residence time distribution (RTD) data from systems with short residence time, the signal distortion caused by the cell can compromise the results. A procedure to correct such distortion using convolution of signals in the time domain is proposed. First, the RTD of the cell is characterized, and then the E-curve of an RTD model is convoluted with the cell curve. The convoluted E-curve is fitted to the experimental data by adjusting the mean time and the model parameter. The procedure is demonstrated using a pilot scale pasteurization unit with two heaters, one cooler and six options of holding tube. Pulse experiments were performed, E-curves were obtained for each process step and five RTD models were tested. The convolution procedure was successful in removing the distortion caused by the detection cell, which was very significant for the holding tubes.

Abstract A time-domain solution of the deconvolution problem for digital recordings from seismograph systems is given. Compensation for the signal distortion caused by the seismograph can be done by numerical data processing of the recorded seismograms using recursive filters which are designed from the analog transfer function using the bilinear z-transform. An application of the method is worked out for the seismograph system of the Central Seismological Observatory Gräfenberg, F. R. Germany.
