"… an excellent textbook for environmental engineering students to learn the regulations, modern facility design, and water recovery requirements.”
--Lawrence K. Wang and Mu-Hao S. Wang, Consultant/Professor, Lenox Institute of Technology

Fully updated for the latest regulations and standards, the second edition of this renowned Water Environment Federation book, previously titled Wastewater Treatment Plant Design, provides students and practicing engineers with authoritative information on state-of-the art facility design and treatment processes.

The text addresses the challenges of the design engineer's job--to incorporate new technology and innovations while producing a facility that will perform as expected under variable and unpredictable loadings. Introduction to Water Resource Recovery Facility Design, Second Edition, also offers guidance on designing facilities with the flexibility to allow modifications to meet more-stringent treatment requirements as environmental regulations evolve.

Comprehensive coverage includes:

    The design process
    Hydraulics
    Preliminary treatment
    Primary treatment
    Suspended-growth biological treatment
    Attached-growth biological treatment
    Biological nutrient removal
    Natural treatment systems
    Physical and chemical processes
    Ancillary processes
    Production and transport of wastewater solids
    Conditioning of solids
    Stabilization
    Thickening, dewatering, and drying solids
    Beneficial use and ultimate disposal

Introduction to Water Resource Recovery Facility Design, Second Edition, includes a digital companion Student Workbook containing more than 200 design examples and study problems related to every aspect of water resource recovery facility design. The Student Workbook is included in your purchase and can be downloaded from your account under "Digital Content Access". Must be downloaded within 30 days of purchase.
