Overview of Wastewater Treatment for Pollution Control and Reuse Book

Important topics:Ecosystem approach in warm climatesMechanized biological and physico-chemical treatment methodsNatural treatment methods ponds, lagoons, constructed wetlandsPower-saving UASBs and decentralized systemsResource recovery and reuse for creating new water resourcesReuse in industries and agriculturePlanning treatment plants The last edition of this successful book dealt with disposal of wastewater for pollution control. The current edition, Wastewater Treatment for Pollution Control and Reuse has been thoroughly revised and extends the discussion to the many benefits and various methods for reusing wastewater. New chapters on reuse of wastewater and use of physico-chemical treatment methods, including membrane technologies that are critical for reuse, have been added. Besides the mechanized methods of wastewater treatment the authors have discussed other methods which are not only simple, natural and cost-effective, but also more dependable, especially in developing countries with warm weather. For example, the natural treatment methods-algal, hyacinth and duckweed ponds, and constructed wetlands which are now gaining worldwide acceptance.Besides new additions, the existing content has been significantly updated and made more meaningful to present day problems with the coverage of decentralized systems, sludge management, overall design of treatment plants and a thorough discussion of the factors that affect sustainable waste management.Very importantly, from their vast experience, the authors also describe how to retrofit sanitation in slums and shantytowns and outline methods to clean polluted water courses running through big cities and towns.Highlights:Simpler, more cost-effective treatment methodsA new section on groundwater rechargeA special section on retrofitting sanitation in slums, shantytownsWater conservation and reuse in industry and agricultureCase studies of wastewater treatment plantsDesign data with plenty of solved examplesInteresting topics for research and developmentUseful for:Faculty and graduate students of environmental, civil and chemical engineering departmentsProfessionals from the industry, public bodies and consulting firms concerned with the control of water pollution and reuse of waterPollution control agencies, municipal corporations and town planning departments
