Water and Wastewater Engineering

Water and Wastewater Engineering--------------------------------------------------An In-Depth Guide to Water and Wastewater Engineering This authoritativevolume offers comprehensive coverage of the design and constructionof municipal water and wastewater facilities. The book addresses watertreatment in detail, following the flow of water through the unit processesand coagulation, flocculation, softening, sedimentation, filtration,disinfection, and residuals management. Each stage of wastewater treatment--preliminary,secondary,and tertiary--is examined along with residuals management.Water and Wastewater Engineering contains more than 100 example problems,500 end-of-chapter problems, and 300 illustrations. Safety issues andoperation and maintenance procedures are also discussed in this definitiveresource. Coverage includes: Intake structures and wells Chemicalhandling and storage Coagulation and flocculation Lime-soda and ionexchange softening Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration SedimentationGranular and membrane filtration Disinfection and fluoridation Removalof specific constituents Drinking water plant residuals management,process selection, and integration Storage and distribution systemsWastewater collection and treatment design considerations Sanitarysewer design Headworks and preliminary treatment Primary treatmentWastewater microbiology Secondary treatment by suspended and attachedgrowth biological processes Secondary settling, disinfection, and postaerationTertiary treatment Wastewater plant residuals management Clean waterplant process selection and integration--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: Mackenzie L.
