The industry standard reference for water treatment plant design and modernization has been updated to include hot topics such as security and design, vulnerability assessments, and planning against vandalism and sabotage, as well as the latest information on codes, regulations, and water quality standards. * Latest code updates and new water quality standards * Design operation and analysis of treatment facilities

Completely up-to-date coverage of water treatment facility design and operation This Second Edition of Susumu Kawamura's landmark volume offerscomprehensive coverage of water treatment facility design, from thebasic principles to the latest innovations. It covers a broadspectrum of water treatment process designs in detail and offersclear guidelines on how to choose the unit, process, and equipmentthat will maximize overall efficiency and minimize maintenancecosts. This book also explores many important operational issuesthat affect today's plant operators and facility designers. This new edition introduces several new subjects, including valueengineering, watershed management, dissolved air flotation process,filtered reservoir (clearwell) design, and electrical systemdesign. It provides expanded and updated coverage of objectives forfinished water quality, instrumentation and control, disinfectionprocess, ozonation, disinfection by-product control, the GACprocess, and the membrane filtration process. Other importantfeatures of this Second Edition include: * Practical guidance on the design of every water treatment plantcomponent * New information on plant layout, cost estimation, sedimentationissues, and more * English and SI units throughout * Help in designing for compliance with water treatment-relatedgovernment regulations Supplemented with hundreds of illustrations, charts, and tables,Integrated Design and Operation of Water Treatment Facilities,Second Edition is an indispensable, hands-on resource for civilengineers and managers, whether working on new facilities orredesigning and rebuilding existing facilities.

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. - 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

Step-by-step procedures for planning, design, construction and operation: * Health and environment * Process improvements * Stormwater and combined sewer control and treatment * Effluent disposal and reuse * Biosolids disposal and reuse * On-site treatment and disposal of small flows * Wastewater treatment plants should be designed so that the effluent standards and reuse objectives, and biosolids regulations can be met with reasonable ease and cost. The design should incorporate flexibility for dealing with seasonal changes, as well as long-term changes in wastewater quality and future regulations. Good planning and design, therefore, must be based on five major steps: characterization of the raw wastewater quality and effluent, pre-design studies to develop alternative processes and selection of final process train, detailed design of the selected alternative, contraction, and operation and maintenance of the completed facility. Engineers, scientists, and financial analysts must utilize principles from a wide range of disciplines: engineering, chemistry, microbiology, geology, architecture, and economics to carry out the responsibilities of designing a wastewater treatment plant. The objective of this book is to present the technical and nontechnical issues that are most commonly addressed in the planning and design reports for wastewater treatment facilities prepared by practicing engineers. Topics discussed include facility planning, process description, process selection logic, mass balance calculations, design calculations, and concepts for equipment sizing. Theory, design, operation and maintenance, trouble shooting, equipment selection and specifications are integrated for each treatment process. Thus delineation of such information for use by students and practicing engineers is the main purpose of this book.
