  • Urban Drainageby David Butler; John Davies

    Spon Press 1999; US$ 66.95

    This textbook covers the environmental and engineering aspects involved in the drainage of rainwater and wastewater from areas of human development. Extensive examples are used to support and demonstrate the key issues explained. more...

  • Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Processby Michael H. Gerardi

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 74.95

    Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process, the first in a series on the microbiology of wastewater treatment, comprises the critical topics of cost-effective operation, permit compliance, process control, and troubleshooting in wastewater treatment plants. Avoiding the technical jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics that typically accompany such texts, Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process directly addresses plant operators and technicians, providing necessary information for understanding the microbiology and biological conditions that occur in the treatment process. Of special interest to wastewater treatment plant operators are the bacteria that degrade nitrogenous wastes–the nitrifying... more...

  • The Microbiology of Anaerobic Digestersby Michael H. Gerardi

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 74.95

    Anaerobic digestion is a biochemical degradation process that converts complex organic material, such as animal manure, into methane and other byproducts. Part of the author's Wastewater Microbiology series, Microbiology of Anareboic Digesters eschews technical jargon to deliver a practical, how-to guide for wastewater plant operators. more...

  • Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Processby Michael H. Gerardi

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 77.95

    The activated sludge process is the most versatile, commonly used wastewater treatment system in North America; however, many activated sludge processes frequently experience operational problems related to poor compaction or settleability of secondary solids and loss of secondary solids from the clarifier. Eschewing the technical jargon and copious chemical equations found in the majority of wastewater studies, Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Process speaks directly to plant operators, showing them how to identify and solve common problems and achieve maximum efficiency. Michael H. Gerardi’s hands-on guide addresses the most common plant operational problems, such as increased costs, loss of treatment... more...

  • Inactivation of Microorganisms in Sewage Sludge by Stabilisation Processesby D. Strauch; A.H. Havelaar; P. L'Hermite

    Spon Press 1985; US$ 210.00

    The effect of the conventional mesophilic anaerobic one-step digestion process and of a two-step process with and without pre-pasteurisation on three not enveloped viruses was investigated. The experiments were performed in a pilot-plant of semi-technical scale. Reovirus (Type 1) and bovine enterovirus (ECBO-LCR-4) were completely inactivated by the one-step mesophilic anaerobic digestion process with a mean hydraulic detention time of 20 days as well as by the two-step process with a mean hydraulic detention time of two days in the anaerobic pretreatment step at 33°C or 20°C and eight days in the main digestion step at 33°C with and with one exception. more...

  • Engineering-Sewerageby R.E. Bartlett

    Spon Press 1979; US$ 360.00

    SINCE the publication of the first edition in 1970, the metric (SI) system has become fully established in this country and in many countries overseas as the system of units in use in the civil engineering industry. Amendments have been made in the text to take account of this, and the original chapter relating to the changeover to metric units has been deleted. A new chapter has been included to deal with the more specialized aspects of house drainage and smaller sewerage schemes, and the opportunity has been taken to correct a few comparatively minor errors of the earlier edition. Since 1970 there have been considerable changes in the standards of materials used in civil engineering. A number of British Standard Specifications have... more...

  • Factors Influencing Sludge Utilization Practices in Europeby R.D. Davis; P. L'Hermite; H. Haeni

    Spon Press 1986; US$ 160.00

    Proceedings of a Round-Table Seminar organized by the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate-General for Science for Research and Development Programme, Liebefeld, Switzerland, 8-10 May 1985. more...

  • Urban Drainageby David Butler; John W. Davies

    Spon Press 2004; US$ 74.95

    Urban Drainage is an essential text for undergraduates and postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers in water engineering, environmental engineering, public health engineering and engineering hydrology. more...

  • Nitrification in Saline Industrial Wastewaterby M.S. Moussa

    Taylor & Francis 2004; US$ 129.95

    A dissertation on the effects of salinity on nitrifcation in municipal wastewater, considering many aspects of the process and its attendant problems, together with useful and research results from lab- and plant-based research. more...
