Unit Treatment Processes in Water and Wastewater Engineering

By T.J. Casey

As water is used as a transport medium for both industrial and domestic waste, large volumes of wastewater are generated. This text outlines the science and technology of the individual processes which are used for the treatment of water to upgrade its quality to meet specific water quality standards. This unit operations approach emphasizes the common process fundamentals whether used in drinking water production or wastewater treatment systems. Amongst the operations addressed are sedimentation flotation and sand filtration, chemical processes, biological and anaerobic processes.
