Capitalize on the Latest Design and Operating Innovations for Achieving Peak
Performance in Any Wastewater Treatment Plant Wastewater treatment professionals can turn
to the updated Second Edition of Water Quality Control Handbook for cutting-edge
information on designing and operating systems used to treat wastewater from industrial
and domestic sources. This state-of-the-art guide explores design innovations, equipment
selection, treatment processes, new regulations, and operating methods for achieving peak
performance in all kinds of wastewater treatment facilities.
Noted pollution control expert E. Roberts Alley examines breakthroughs that are
improving current wastewater treatment practice. He covers the optimization of activated
sludge wastewater treatment through cation control …pH control for quickly varying pH
levels…and the use of separate activated sludge treatment units in series to efficiently
treat a mixture of biodegradable and refractory organics. The author also discusses the
design of activated sludge wetlands…new pollutant precipitation techniques…total
nitrogen removal design…recommendations for reducing effluent toxicity to aquatic
life…and much more. Filled with 650 illustrations, charts, and tables, the Second
Edition of Water Quality Control Handbook features:
- Expanded coverage of treatment systems for specific pollutants
- The latest water quality regulations
- New sections on wastewater treatment operations, new material on membrane
treatment processes, and new developments in cost-saving treatment design methods
