"Presents a microbiological perspective on the design and operation of wastewater treatment systems. Covers the fundamentals of microbiology, aspects of chemical engineering, operation and modification of wastewater treatment plants. Emphasis is on the activated-sludge process. Each chapter contains worked examples, review questions and a bibliography."
Environmental Waste Management(1stEdition) A European Perspective by Nigel J. Horan Hardcover, 188 Pages, Published 1996 by Wiley ISBN-13: 978-0-471-92882-9, ISBN: 0-471-92882-8
"This work identifies and reviews current research on important topics in modern waste management. Legislation and its impact is included in the book which takes a European view of this subject. It reviews current research and EC legislation on important waste management topics across Europe."
"The incorporation of a nitrification stage into the design of a new sewage works is
easily accomplished by elongation of activated sludge lanes ... well researched
and characterized (I.W.E.M., 1988; Upton and Cartwright, 1984; Hill et al., 1992)
and offer simple and reliable operation. The space requirements, while not as
small as submerged biological filters, are nevertheless within reason for most
sites."
"This book presents new application processes in the context of anaerobic digestion (AD), such as phosphorus recovery, microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and seaweed digestion. In addition, it introduces a new technique for the modeling and optimization of AD processes. Chapters 1 and 2 review AD as a technique for converting a range of organic wastes into biogas, while Chapter 3 discusses the recovery of phosphorus from anaerobically digested ..."
