Solutions for Global Water Crises
This is one of the best texts I have come across that addresses the diverse issues critical for environmental hydrologists around the world. Despite a few pages of mathematics and formulas in the beginning chapters of the book this would make an excellent primer and text for graduate students focusing on global hydrological problems and solutions. Geo-hydrologists and Transboundary NGOs would also find this book quite useful. The thick well written narrative is accompanied by a profuse number of color photos and graphic illustrations. I greatly recommend this book. ... Read more

Practical techniques for handling industrial waste and designing treatment facilities

Practical Wastewater Treatment is designed as a teaching and training tool for chemical, civil, and environmental engineers. Based on an AIChE training course, developed and taught by the author, this manual equips readers with the skills and knowledge needed to design a wastewater treatment plant and handle various types of industrial wastes. With its emphasis on design issues and practical considerations, the manual enables readers to master treatment techniques for managing a wide range of industrial wastes, including oil, blood and protein, milk, plating, refinery, and phenolic and chemical plant wastes.

A key topic presented in the manual is biological modeling for designing wastewater treatment plants. The author demonstrates how these models lead to both more efficient and more economical plants.

As a practical training tool, this manual contains a number of features to assist readers in tackling complex, real-world problems, including:
* Examples and worked problems throughout the manual demonstrate how various treatment plants and treatment techniques work
* Figures and diagrams help readers visualize and understand complex design issues
* References as well as links to online resources serve as a gateway to additional information
* Practical design hints, stemming from the author's extensive experience, help readers save time and avoid unwanted and expensive pitfalls
* Clear and logically organized presentation has been developed and refined based on an AIChE course taught by the author in the United States, Mexico, and Venezuela

Whether a novice or experienced practitioner, any engineer who deals with the treatment of industrial waste will find a myriad of practical advice and useful techniques that they can immediately apply to solve problems in wastewater treatment. ... Read more

This book is divided into four main parts: a review of significant numbers and rounding; two chapters on math followed by practice tests; and appendices. Each problem is presented with easily followed steps and comments to facilitate understanding. Included after each grade level are tests to help you determine where your strengths or weaknesses are. Appendices contain conversion factors, wastewater treatment equations, chemistry tables, depth-to-diameter tables, and flow charts of wastewater treatment processes. ... Read more

Product Description
FROM THE PREFACEIn this time of dwindling budgets, increasing service needs, and increasing regulatory requirements, wastewater treatment professionals are continually called upon to upgrade their wastewater treatment plants. To do so efficiently and effectively, one must develop a clear approach to use in upgrading a plant and have the proper tools available to implement that approach. This book is meant to assist readers in developing and implementing their upgrading projects. First, Chapter 1 details the upgrading approach. The tools to be used are presented in Chapters 2 through 6. Finally, in Chapter 7, six case histories are presented to illustrate the plant upgrading techniques presented in the previous chapters. Through this book, the authors hope to assist readers in meeting their upgrade requirements, while making the most efficient use of the resources at hand. ... Read more
