Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals

Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals I: Liquid Treatment covers all aspects of liquid treatment processes and helps operators prepare for the first three levels of certification examinations. In addition to learning the basics of liquid treatment, operators will gain a thorough understanding of critical aspects of biological treatment, nutrient removal, and disinfection. After learning from real-life examples, users can apply the material they learn to situations they encounter in their day-to-day work. Highlights of Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals include: *Detailed visuals and infographics*Comprehensive math examples*Practice questions for each module with lots of variety*Accessible language for all levels of operators*Easy to read format*Peer reviewed This self-study manual aligns with updated Need-to-Know Criteria from the Association of Boards of Certification (ABC) and are based on WEFs extensive existing resource collection, including Operation of Water Resource Recovery Facilities, MOP 11.Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction to Wastewater Treatment Chapter 2: Characterization and Sampling of Wastewater Chapter 3: Preliminary Treatment of Wastewater Chapter 4: Primary Treatment of Wastewater Chapter 5: Fundamentals of Biological Treatment Chapter 6: Wastewater Treatment Ponds Chapter 7: Fixed Film Treatment Chapter 8: Activated Sludge Chapter 9: Nutrient Removal Chapter 10: Disinfection

The 2nd edition of Fundamentals of Wastewater Treatment and Design introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of wastewater treatment, followed by engineering design of unit processes for sustainable treatment of municipal wastewater and resource recovery. It has been completely updated with new chapters to reflect current advances in design, resource recovery practices and research. Another highlight is the addition of the last chapter, which provides a culminating design experience of both urban and rural wastewater treatment systems. Filling the need for a textbook focused on wastewater, it covers history, current practices, emerging concerns, future directions and pertinent regulations that have shaped the objectives of this important area of engineering. Basic principles of reaction kinetics, reactor design and environmental microbiology are introduced along with natural purification processes. It also details the design of unit processes for primary, secondary and advanced treatment, as well as solids processing and removal. Recovery of water, energy and nutrients are explained with the help of process concepts and design applications. This textbook is designed for undergraduate and graduate students who have some knowledge of environmental chemistry and fluid mechanics. Professionals in the wastewater industry will also find this a handy reference.

The more than 800 study questions and answers in this study companion represent all aspects of liquid treatment processes and help operators prepare for the first three levels of certification examinations. Practicing these questions will allow operators to practically measure and improve their knowledge of the basics of liquid treatment as well as critical aspects of biological treatment, nutrient removal, and disinfection. These questions are also included as "Test Your Knowledge" questions in the Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals I--Liquid Treatment training manual and online course developed in collaboration with the Association of Boards of Certification (ABC). This separate study guide is intended for those operators who do not have the opportunity to use the training manual or online course for study.The peer-reviewed resources in the Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals series represent the expertise of hundreds of water quality professionals. They align with updated Need-to-Know Criteria from the Association of Boards of Certification and are based on WEF's extensive existing resource collection, including Operation of Water Resource Recovery Facilities, MOP 11.

Carefully designed to balance coverage of theoretical and practical principles, Fundamentals of Water Treatment Unit Processes delineates the principles that support practice, using the unit processes approach as the organizing concept. The author covers principles common to any kind of water treatment, for example, drinking water, municipal wastew

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) rely on the efficient generation of reactive radical species and are increasingly attractive options for water remediation from a wide variety of organic micropollutants of human health and/or environmental concern. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water Treatment covers the key advanced oxidation processes developed for chemical contaminant destruction in polluted water sources, some of which have been implemented successfully at water treatment plants around the world. The book is structured in two sections; the first part is dedicated to the most relevant AOPs, whereas the topics covered in the second section include the photochemistry of chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment, advanced water treatment for water reuse, implementation of advanced treatment processes for drinking water production at a state-of-the art water treatment plant in Europe, advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater, and green technologies for water remediation. The advanced oxidation processes discussed in the book cover the following aspects: - Process principles including the most recent scientific findings and interpretation. - Classes of compounds suitable to AOP treatment and examples of reaction mechanisms. - Chemical and photochemical degradation kinetics and modelling. - Water quality impact on process performance and practical considerations on process parameter selection criteria. - Process limitations and byproduct formation and strategies to mitigate any potential adverse effects on the treated water quality. - AOP equipment design and economics considerations. - Research studies and outcomes. - Case studies relevant to process implementation to water treatment. - Commercial applications. - Future research needs. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water Treatment presents the most recent scientific and technological achievements in process understanding and implementation, and addresses to anyone interested in water remediation, including water industry professionals, consulting engineers, regulators, academics, students.
