"Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems Theory and Operation N. J. Horan University of Leeds UK The increasing concern being voiced about the destruction and pollution of our environment has led to a growing awareness worldwide of the need for more effective sewage treatment. The contribution of sewage, treated effluents and sewage sludges to the spread of disease is now being quantified, emphasizing the vital need for improved sanitati ..."
"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 should prove of interest not only to adults, but also the younger generation whose studies involve them in a look at the colourful history of the 20th century."
Sewage Processing Guidebook Production, Energy Recovery, Recycling and Technology Developments for Biosolids and Organic Residuals by Paul Lowe, Nigel J. Horan Hardcover, 600 Pages, Published 2007 by Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd ISBN-13: 978-0-7506-7955-8, ISBN: 0-7506-7955-7
"A modern survey of plasma physics which is useful not only for astrophysicists. Motivated by the scope of the well known monograph by Kaplan and Tsytovich the book considers a range of new topics, including dusty plasmas, the physics of Supernovae and turbulent processes in relativistic plasmas. In general, the authors put more accent on physical processes which occur in astrophysical plasmas. Hence, the book claims to be a main referen ..."
