THE UPDATED AND EXPANDED GUIDE FOR HANDLING INDUSTRIAL WASTES AND DESIGNING A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

The revised and updated second edition of Practical Wastewater Treatment provides a hands-on guide to industrial wastewater treatment theory, practices, and issues. It offers information for the effective design of water and wastewater treatment facilities and contains material on how to handle the wide variety of industrial wastes. The book is based on a course developed and taught by the author for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

The author presents the latest in practice and techniques, and develops effluent and permit strategies for water measurements. The book also discusses wastewater modeling and reviews various model platform with respect to ease of use and then covers the most important topics in a variety of industrial wastewater problems and discusses the best way to treat those discharges. In addition, the book explores a wide range of approaches for managing industrial wastes such as oil, blood, protein and more. A comprehensive resource, the text covers such basic issues as water pollution, wastewater treatment techniques, sampling and measurement, and explores the key topic of biological modeling for designing wastewater treatment plants. This important book:

• Offers an updated and expanded text for dealing with real-world wastewater problems
• Contains new chapters on: Reverse Osmosis and desalination; Skin and Membrane Filtration; and Cooling tower water treatment
• Presents a guide filled with helpful examples and diagrams that is ideal for both professionals and students
• Includes information for handling industrial wastes and designing water and wastewater treatment plants

Written for civil or chemical engineers and students, Practical Wastewater Treatment offers the information and techniques needed to solve problems of wastewater treatment.
