Water and Wastewater Engineering

An In-Depth Guide to Water and Wastewater Engineering

This authoritative volume offers comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of municipal water and wastewater facilities. The book addresses water treatment in detail, following the flow of water through the unit processes and coagulation, flocculation, softening, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and residuals management. Each stage of wastewater treatment--preliminary, secondary, and tertiary--is examined along with residuals management.

Water and Wastewater Engineering contains more than 100 example problems, 500 end-of-chapter problems, and 300 illustrations. Safety issues and operation and maintenance procedures are also discussed in this definitive resource.

Coverage includes:

Intake structures and wells

Chemical handling and storage

Coagulation and flocculation

Lime-soda and ion exchange softening

Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration

Sedimentation

Granular and membrane filtration

Disinfection and fluoridation

Removal of specific constituents
