Handbook of Biological Wastewater Treatment: Second EditionHandbook of Biological Wastewater Treatment: Second EditionThe scope of this comprehensive new edition of Handbook of Biological Wastewater Treatment ranges from the design of the activated sludge system, final settlers, auxiliary units (sludge thickeners and digesters) to pre-treatment units such as primary settlers and UASB reactors. The core of the book deals with the optimized design of biological and chemical nutrient removal. The book presents the state-of-the-art theory concerning the various aspects of the activated sludge system and develops procedures for optimized cost-based design and operation. It offers a truly integrated cost-based design method that can be easily implemented in spreadsheets and adapted to the particular needs of the user. This second edition incorporates valuable new material that improves the instructive qualities. The book has a new structure that makes the material more readily understandable and the numerous additional examples clarify the text. New sections have been added throughout:
Handbook of Biological Wastewater Treatment: Second Edition is written for postgraduate students and engineers in consulting firms and environmental protection agencies. It is an invaluable resource for everybody working in the field of wastewater treatment. Lecturer support material is available when adopted for university courses. This includes course material for the first 7 modules in the form of PDF printouts and an exercise file with questions and answers and a symbol list.
