Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
ISBN: 0071543678


The “bible” of the water quality industry – updated to reflect the latest trends, technologies, and regulations.

Operations of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants, MOP 11 is the industry flagship book, focusing on the operation and maintenance of municipal wastewater treatment plants. Presented in three shrinkwrapped, hardcover volumes, this classic resource incorporates the experiences, best practices, and innovations from thousands of wastewater plants. Taken as a whole, these three volumes represent the most complete package of information available to the wastewater treatment industry.



Book Cover: Fundamentals of Wastewater Treatment and EngineeringFundamentals of Wastewater Treatment and Engineering
by Rumana Riffat

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0415669588


As the world’s population has increased, sources of clean water have decreased, shifting the focus toward pollution reduction and control. Disposal of wastes and wastewater without treatment is no longer an option. Fundamentals of Wastewater Treatment and Engineering introduces readers to the essential concepts of wastewater treatment, as well as the engineering design of unit processes for the sustainable treatment of municipal wastewater.

Filling the need for a textbook focused on wastewater, it first covers history, current practices, emerging concerns, and pertinent regulations and then examines the basic principles of reaction kinetics, reactor design, and environmental microbiology, along with natural purification processes.



Book Cover: Wastewater Treatment Plants: Planning, Design, and OperationWastewater Treatment Plants: Planning, Design, and Operation
by Syed R. Qasim

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1566766885


Engineers, scientists, and financial analysts must utilize principles from a wide range of disciplines: engineering, chemistry, microbiology, geology, architecture, and economics to carry out the responsibilities of designing a wastewater treatment plant.

The objective of this book is to present the technical and nontechnical issues that are most commonly addressed in the planning and design reports for wastewater treatment facilities prepared by practicing engineers. Topics discussed include facility planning, process description, process selection logic, mass balance calculations, design calculations, and concepts for equipment sizing.



Book Cover: Sludge Engineering: The Treatment and Disposal of Wastewater SludgesSludge Engineering: The Treatment and Disposal of Wastewater Sludges
by F. Dilek Sanin, Ph.D., William W. Clarkson, P. Aarne Vesilind

Publisher: DEStech Publications, Inc.
ISBN: 1932078878


Intended for advanced students and practitioners of wastewater engineering, this text offers the theory and quantitative rationale for treating wastewater and industrial sludges , with public safety and efficiency in mind. The authors bring both an instructional and engineering background to the subject of sludge, presenting the necessary calculations as well as clearly explained design alternatives for each process in sludge handling.

The authors are fully attuned to the controversies surrounding sludge disposal and carefully lay out US and European regulations that govern current technologies. The book offers important information on emerging practices for safe and legal sludge disposal.

Book Cover: Basic Math Concepts: For Water and Wastewater Plant OperatorsBasic Math Concepts: For Water and Wastewater Plant Operators
by Joanne K. Price

Publisher: Technomic Publishing Company
ISBN: 0877628084


In the years since the first edition, I have continued to consider ways in which the texts could be improved. In this regard, I researched several topics including how people learn (learning styles, etc.), how the brain functions in storing and retrieving information, and the fundamentals of memory systems. Many of the changes incorporated in this second edition are a result of this research. The changes were field-tested during a three-year period in which I taught a water and wastewater mathematics course for Palomar Community College, San Marcos, California.

All the fundamental math concepts and skills needed for daily water/wastewater treatment plant operations.
