Water Treatment Principles and Design

By James M. Montgomery

Drawing on the vast experience of the most respected firm in the industry, Water Treatment Principles and Design is the first major reference on the science of water treatment in several decades. It covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of water quality analysis, treatment plant operation, and facility design, and provides detailed descriptions of processes such as coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, ion exchange, and adsorption. In addition, it offers one of the most extensive discussions ever published on design criteria, including component description and organization, aeration equipment, upflow clarifiers, disinfection, and materials.

Worldwide standard text

Used at all major educational and research institutions. Belongs on every Water Treatment Engineer's desk. Extensive coverage on all areas, but does not cover wastewater. This field distinguishes between wastewater treatment, which is the treatment of water that has been used residentially, commercially and industrially so that it can be properly reintroduced to the water cycle, and water treatment, which is the process of treating water before it is considered potable for consumption. For wastewater, see the classic Metcalf and Eddy text.

Nice book

This is a great book for graduate level textbook. It's some kind of encyclopedia for everythng you need to know about water treatment, from physical and chemical quality of water to plant design.

Great

This is a great reference book for anyone getting into water treatment or environmental process design.

Review for Water Treatment: Principles and Design

This is a great book... It covers all the basics and explains every concept well.

Excellent

This book covers all the theory and application in an outstanding way without getting too simple or complex. The book is coherent, very well organized, and filled with excellent tables and graphs. Great examples as well. I have nothing negative to say about this text.
