Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
An Applied Guide to Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Design is the first book to bring together the design of process, wastewater, water, effluent and sludge plants. The author teaches this subject to professional engineers, so the book has a highly practical focus, with real world applications. It includes sections on how to carry out key steps in the process design of water and effluent treatment plants, with economic considerations in mind that are fully supported with worked examples and case studies. It is ideal for graduates, early career researchers and experienced engineers moving from a different sector into the water sector.
This book is compliant with both professional practice and IChemE degree accreditation guidelines. Computer tools discussed include Hysys and AutoCAD. Tools to assist in the creative process include What If Analysis features, statistical plugins and visual basic for more complex problems.
- Explains how to design water and effluent treatment plants that really work
- Accessible introduction to, and overview of, the area that is written from a process engineering perspective
- Covers new treatment technologies and the whole process, from treatment plant design, to commissioning
Synopsis
An Applied Guide to Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Design is ideal for chemical, civil and environmental engineering students, graduates, and early career water engineers as well as more experienced practitioners who are transferring into the water sector. It brings together the design of process, wastewater, clean water, industrial effluent and sludge treatment plants, looking at the different treatment objectives within each sub-sector, selection and design of physical, chemical and biological treatment processes, and the professional hydraulic design methodologies.
This book will show you how to carry out the key steps in the process design of all kinds of water and effluent treatment plants. It provides an essential refresher on the relevant underlying principles of engineering science, fluid mechanics, water chemistry and biology, together with a thorough description of the heuristics and rules of thumb commonly used by experienced practitioners. The water treatment plant designer will also find specific advice on plant layout, aesthetics, economic considerations and related issues such as odor control.
The information contained in this book is usually provided on the job by mentors so it will remain a vital resource throughout your career.
