Master Wastewater Treatment Design Through Practical Engineering Calculations.

From activated sludge systems to advanced water reuse, wastewater treatment requires more than theoretical knowledge. Engineers and operators must understand how treatment processes work, calculate design requirements, and make informed decisions that protect water quality and public health.

Wastewater Treatment and Environmental Engineering Handbook connects the science behind wastewater treatment with the calculations used in engineering design and plant operation. Across 16 chapters, Avery T Whitaker explains fundamental principles, develops essential equations, and demonstrates their application through step-by-step worked examples.

Inside this handbook, you will explore:

Wastewater Characterization and Process Fundamentals: Understand wastewater flows, pollutant loadings, mass balances, reactor hydraulics, and biological process kinetics.
Activated Sludge Design: Work through reactor sizing, solids retention time, sludge production, oxygen requirements, aeration systems, and secondary clarifier design.
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal: Examine nitrification, denitrification, enhanced biological phosphorus removal, and chemical treatment methods.
Treatment Technologies: Explore preliminary treatment, primary sedimentation, attached-growth processes, filtration, membranes, and disinfection.
Sludge and Biosolids Management: Understand thickening, aerobic and anaerobic digestion, dewatering, stabilization, and beneficial use.
Water Reuse and Resource Recovery: Study water reclamation, nutrient recovery, energy efficiency, and sustainable treatment plant design.
Worked Examples and Practice Problems: Strengthen your understanding with six to fourteen worked examples per chapter, ten practice problems per chapter, and answers collected in Appendix D.

Written for civil and environmental engineering students, practicing engineers, and wastewater treatment operators, this handbook provides a structured learning resource and practical technical reference.

Please note: Regulatory discussions follow the United States federal framework as understood in October 2026. Project-specific designs require current regulatory verification, appropriate professional engineering judgment, and site-specific data.

Open the first chapter and start building your wastewater engineering knowledge, one calculation at a time.
