Critical Issues for Wastewater Professionals : Current Challenges and Emerging Trends

By: Rick Allen

To this end Critical Issues for Wastewater Professionals is divided into five chapters: The first chapter, "We Have a Problem" addresses issues greatly affecting current and future WWTPs: increased demand, undersized and outdated facilities, decreased budgets and compliance issues.The second chapter, "WWTP Operations: The Three Deadly Sins!" discusses current and future options in dealing with difficult problems: toxic shock, hydrogen sulfide and low flow.The third chapter, "Lost in the FOG," is entirely devoted to current and future collection system issues: FOG, lift station problems, slow/clogged trunk lines and forced mains.The fourth chapter, "Sludge Happens," is (you guessed it!) all about sludge: what it is; common problems, its impact on the wastewater treatment process; sludge management and emerging sludge reduction strategies. The fifth chapter, "Those Bloomin' (!*!*!*) Algae!" discusses the effect of algal blooms on lagoons, ponds and wetlands; anticipated regulations; algal bloom treatments and an emerging solution.
