Water Quality Control, 2nd Revised edition--------------------------------------------------Capitalize on the Latest Design and Operating Innovations for AchievingPeak Performance in Any Wastewater Treatment Plant Wastewater treatmentprofessionals can turn to the updated Second Edition of Water QualityControl Handbook for cutting-edge information on designing and operatingsystems used to treat wastewater from industrial and domestic sources.This state-of-the-art guide explores design innovations, equipmentselection, treatment processes, new regulations, and operating methodsfor achieving peak performance in all kinds of wastewater treatmentfacilities. Noted pollution control expert E. Roberts Alley examinesbreakthroughs that are improving current wastewater treatment practice.He covers the optimization of activated sludge wastewater treatmentthrough cation control !pH control for quickly varying pH levels!andthe use of separate activated sludge treatment units in series to efficientlytreat a mixture of biodegradable and refractory organics. The authoralso discusses the design of activated sludge wetlands!new pollutantprecipitation techniques!total nitrogen removal design!recommendationsfor reducing effluent toxicity to aquatic life!and much more. Filledwith 650 illustrations, charts, and tables, the Second Edition of WaterQuality Control Handbook features: Expanded coverage of treatment systemsfor specific pollutants The latest water quality regulations New sectionson wastewater treatment operations, new material on membrane treatmentprocesses, and new developments in cost-saving treatment design methodsInside This Landmark Water Quality Control Guide / Sources of WaterPollution / Pollutant Classification / Water Quality / EnvironmentalManagement / Regulatory Standards / Wastewater Treatment Plant Design/ Physical Treatment / Chemical Treatment / Biological Treatment /Residuals Treatment / Schematics and Flow Diagrams / Pollutant Information--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: E.
