Updated practical guidance for contaminant removal and treatment design
Now in its Third Edition, Practical Water and Wastewater Treatment delivers a hands-on guide to industrial and municipal water treatment theory, practices, and design. This updated edition expands coverage to address recalcitrant chemicals including PFAS, advances in membrane and filtration technology, algae control, and emerging contaminants such as microplastics, equipping design professionals with current methods for complex treatment challenges.
The text covers biological modeling for treatment plant design, sampling and measurement techniques, and approaches for managing industrial wastes including oil, blood, and protein. New to this edition are sections on biochar as an alternative to activated carbon, marine pollution prevention and cleanup, volatile and non-volatile compound removal, wastewater modeling, and quality control protocols reflecting recent industry advancement.
Readers will also find: - Industry standards and emerging technologies described alongside accessible theory that explains how treatment processes work without excessive formulae
- New coverage of microplastics identification, their environmental impacts, and practical treatment techniques applicable to both municipal and industrial systems
- Guidance on drinking water source treatment and contaminant removal strategies tailored specifically for the working design professional
- Expanded discussion of membrane technology types, configurations, and selection criteria for diverse water and wastewater applications
- Sections addressing the need for expediency in treatment decisions, balancing regulatory compliance with operational and economic constraints
Designed for chemists, chemical engineers, civil engineers, environmental engineers, and scientists, this reference provides the practical know-how needed to design and operate effective water and wastewater treatment facilities. Accessible theory supports practitioners at all experience levels without sacrificing technical depth.
