Customer Reviews

this is a very good operations manual. There is so much information available for operators from so many different sources but it's nearly impossible to read all the material. These books compile much of that information into one large resource. A set of these books is needed at each facility...every facility is different and sees a never ending variation in influent characteristics...these texts can provide direction to help operators figure out what to do next.

These Manual Of Process volumes provide an in depth understanding of the wastewater process in its entirety. The volumes prove most useful as a troubleshooting resource. I was able to get a fantastic deal, paying $21.92 on a secondhand set, but the quality of information found in these volumes would make the full price of $240+/- worth the cost.
