Inhaltsangabe

Wastewater treatment succeeds only when the whole system works together—from influent characterization and design loading to treatment barriers, solids management, monitoring, and recovery after disruption.

Yet wastewater engineering is often learned one unit process at a time. That can hide the connections that control real performance: variable flow changes hydraulics and contact time; recycle streams alter loads; biological conversion depends on carbon, oxygen, alkalinity, temperature, and solids retention; disinfection depends on upstream water quality; and every separation process creates a residual stream that must be managed.

This comprehensive handbook builds those connections into a practical route from fundamentals to integrated facility design. It explains what each process is intended to accomplish, how to define its inputs and outputs, which assumptions govern preliminary calculations, and how uncertainty, operation, regulation, maintenance, and resilience affect engineering decisions.

Inside, You Will Learn How To:
  • Convert sampling data, concentrations, flow patterns, and variability into defensible design loads.

  • Apply mass balances, retention-time relationships, recycle calculations, oxygen and alkalinity checks, and other core tools with consistent units.

  • Compare physical, biological, nutrient-removal, polishing, disinfection, and membrane processes by mechanism, duty, and system fit.

  • Connect sludge stabilization, biosolids pathways, resource recovery, water reuse, energy, emissions, and sidestreams to plant-wide performance.

  • Evaluate hydraulics, layout, monitoring, alarms, redundancy, emergency operation, maintainability, and recovery as parts of reliable treatment.

  • Strengthen understanding through more than seventy worked examples, practice problems, key terms, decision frameworks, and detailed figure prompts.

Comprehensive Twenty-Chapter Coverage

The twenty-chapter progression covers U.S. planning and regulatory context, wastewater characterization and analytical quality, flow and loading variability, process calculations, preliminary and primary treatment, suspended and attached growth, nitrogen and phosphorus removal, advanced polishing, pathogen control, membranes and emerging contaminants, sludge and biosolids, beneficial use, fit-for-purpose reuse, energy and carbon, plant hydraulics, operations, resilience, decentralized systems, and future technology evaluation.

Written for civil and environmental engineering students, early-career and practicing engineers, plant operators seeking deeper process context, consultants, utility staff, researchers, regulators, and infrastructure professionals, the book can be read sequentially or used as a technical desk reference. SI units are primary, with customary U.S. equivalents where they improve field usefulness.

Add this integrated reference to your professional library and begin connecting wastewater calculations to the operating, environmental, and infrastructure decisions that make treatment systems work.
