The scope of this comprehensive new edition of Handbook of Biological Wastewater Treatment ranges from the design of the activated sludge system, final settlers, auxiliary units (sludge thickeners and digesters) to pre-treatment units such as primary settlers and UASB reactors. The core of the book deals with the optimized design of biological and chemical nutrient removal. The book presents the state-of-the-art theory concerning the various aspects of the activated sludge system and develops procedures for optimized cost-based design and operation. It offers a truly integrated cost-based...

Anaerobic Sewage Treatment: Optimization of process and physical design of anaerobic and complementary processes provides information on process design and reactor design of anaerobic sewage treatment systems consisting of UASB technology followed by post treatment systems. Attention will be paid to the design of sludge and biogas handling facilities. Additionally, novel developments will be discussed and placed into context. Written primarily as a textbook to be used at higher education institutes for educational purposes, this important new publication will also of interest to...
