INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT -- A GUIDEBOOK; Dr. Joseph D. Edwards, PE
DESCRIPTION AND ORDERING INFORMATION
Description
Managing wastewater is a necessary task for small businesses and production facilities, as well as for large industrial firms. Industrial Wastewater Treatment: A Guidebook presents an approach to successful selection, development, implemtation, and operation of industrial wastewater treatment systems for facilities of all sizes. It explains how to determine various properties of wastewater, including how it is generated, what its constituents are, and whether it meets regulatory requirements, and whether or not it can be recycled. It describes methodologies for developing and maintaining a suitable treatment program, determined by the company under consideration. Examples of treatment systems which have been installed in various types of businesses over the past several years are presented in a manner that clearly illustrates successful treatment methods. This straightforward guide is an excellent source of information for understanding the procedures involved in developing a sound wastewater treatment system.
Features
