Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater Treatment is an exhaustive compilation of current knowledge of the topic. In upwards of 400 pages, the subjects covered run the gamut from basics such as wastewater sources, characteristics, and monitoring through the more advanced chemical treatments and nutrient removal. The detailed coverage of sludge treatment, including new developments, is especially prominent. A wealth of illustrations and tables serve as quick and clear reference for repeated use. Wastewater Treatment proves to be a useful handbook, appropriate for engineers and students but readable enough for anyone interested in the discipline. TOC:Sources and Characteristics. Monitoring and Analysis. Sewers and Pumping Stations. Equalization and Primary Treatment. Conventional Biological Treatment. Secondary Treatment. Advanced or Tertiary Treatment. Organics, Salts, Metals, and Nutrient Removal. Chemical Treatment. Sludge Stabilization and Dewatering. Sludge Disposal.

In an exhaustive compilation of current knowledge, Wastewater Treatment covers subjects that run the gamut from wastewater sources, characteristics, and monitoring to chemical treatments and nutrient removal. Thoroughly examining basic and advanced topics, this resource has it all. The wealth of easy-to-use tables and illustrations provides quick and clear references, making it indispensable. Schematic drawings of equipment and devices explain the technology and techniques. With the level of detail included, you can count on finding both introductory material and very technical answers to complex questions.It's seamless style clearly delineates what can and must be done to continue to improve the quality of our water. Wastewater Treatment is a valuable resource; appropriate for engineers and students but readable enough for anyone interested in the discipline. Béla G. Lipták speaks on Post-Oil Energy Technology on the AT&T Tech Channel.
