Publisher's Synopsis
This Handbook is an authoritative reference for process and plant engineers, water treatment plant operators, and environmental consultants. Practical information is provided for application to the treatment of drinking water and to industrial and municipal wastewater. The author presents material for those concerned with meeting government regulations, reducing or avoiding fines for violations and making cost-effective decisions while producing a high quality of water via physical, chemical, and thermal techniques. This handbook discusses sources, characteristics, and treatment of waste waters produced in industries. Many flow diagrams have been included to illustrate industrial processes and to indicate the sources of waste water in such processes. This handbook should prove extremely useful to undergraduate students of civil and chemical engineering and postgraduate students of environmental science and engineering. Industrial design consultants will also find the book very handy.
