Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal

Abstract

The focus of this book is exclusively on management of industrial wastewater; how wastewater characteristics varies by industry; what methods of treatment are used in industry, developing trends; and how industrial design, construction, and operations services are or could be procured. This Manual of Practice is a totally revised and expanded edition of the 1994 WEF bestseller Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes. Besides an overall updating and editing of the technical material, this edition contains: • An update on current regulations, • A greatly expanded section on biological treatment of industrial wastes, • A new section on organoclays, • A new chapter on instrumentation and control of industrial waste treatment processes, and • A new chapter on innovative methods for procuring services related to facility design, construction, and operation. This book is intended to appeal to a wide range of professionals responsible for regulating, monitoring, and designing industrial waste facilities. Engineering consultants, industrial waste managers and purchasing department managers, government regulators, and graduate students will find this book invaluable. The book has been written by a diverse group of professionals experienced in the particular area of concern. Design engineers, industrial managers, university professors, and regulators have combined their efforts to produce a book that is thoroughly grounded in theory but is a practical resource for those who need to apply industrial wastewater principles to facility design or even to retaining an engineers or contractor.
