Treatment Wetlands is the seventh volume in the Biological Wastewater Treatment series, which gives a state-of-the-art presentation of the science and technology of sewage treatment. The major variants of wetland systems are covered in this volume, namely: (i) horizontal flow wetlands; (ii) vertical flow wetlands; (iii) French vertical flow wetlands; (iv) intensified wetlands; (v) free water surface wetlands; (vi) other applications of treatment wetlands. The book presents in a clear and didactic way the main concepts, working principles, expected performance, design criteria, design examples, construction aspects and operational guidelines. The book has been written by an international team of top experts in the field of treatment wetlands.
Respirometry in Control of the Activated Sludge Process: Principles
ISBN: 9781780409009
Scientific and Technical Reports No. 7
The report is organized as follows. After a short introduction, the biochemical fundamentals of respiration, its modelling and assessment are reviewed. Then, a major contribution of the Task Group is presented, i.e. a new classification of respirometric measuring principles. The variables measured and deduced with respirometry are subsequently summarized. Next, the basics of control systems are provided, followed by a structured overview of respirometry-based control strategies found in the literature. Finally, some concluding remarks are made.
Microbial Community Analysis: the Key to the Design of Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems
