Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse

Wastewater Engineering, Treatment and Reuse, 4th Revised edition--------------------------------------------------Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse, 4/e is a thorough updateof McGraw-Hill's authoritative book on wastewater treatment. No environmentalengineering professional or civil or and environmental engineeringmajor should be without a copy of this book. It describes the technologicaland regulatory changes that have occurred over the last ten years inthis discipline, including: improved techniques for the characterizationof wastewaters, improved fundamental understanding of many of the existingunit operations and processes used for wastewater treatment, especiallythose processes used for the biological removal of nutrients, greaterimplementation of several newer treatment technologies (e.g., UV disinfection,membrane filtration, and heat drying), greater concern for the longterm health and environmental impacts of wastewater constituents, greateremphasis on advanced wastewater treatment and risk assessment for waterreuse applications, changes in regulations and the development of newtechnologies for wastewater disinfection, and new regulations governingthe treatment, reuse, and disposal of sludge (biosolids). Greaterconcern for infrastructure renewal including upgrading the design andperformance of wastewater treatment plants. This revision containsa strong focus on advanced wastewater treatment technologies and stressesthe reuse aspects of wastewater and biosolids.--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: 1994
