This study book, written by Rumana Riffat and published by Taylor & Francis Ltd (CRC Press), offers a thorough introduction to wastewater treatment. It focuses on the fundamental concepts and engineering design of unit processes for the sustainable treatment of municipal wastewater and the recovery of resources.
Contents
The 2nd edition of Fundamentals of Wastewater Treatment and Design is fully updated with new chapters on current developments in resource recovery processes and research. Concluding, this handbook includes a design case for both municipal and rural wastewater systems. It addresses history, regulations, recurring and emerging environmental issues, and focuses on unit processes for primary, secondary, and advanced treatment, as well as solid matter treatment.
In addition, the book explains basic principles of reaction kinetics, reactor design, and environmental microbiology. It shows how water, energy, and nutrients can be recovered with practical design applications.
