Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Process (Wastewater Microbiology Series)
$69.95
This is a great book for troubleshooting settleability problems in activated sludge processes. It is easy to read and understand. It takes all of the best information from the most expensive references, such as MOP-11 by WEF and the "Wastewater Bible" as I call it from Metcalf & Eddy and translates it into material that a plant operator can read in one or two days and be able to make process changes immediately to help solve the problems they are experiencing. Even a most seasoned operator will find this book to be a great reveiw for thoses subtle details that we forget about when our plants are operating well and I highly recommend it for anyone just getting into the wastewater field or anyone interested in how the biological section of wastewater plants work.

Wastewater sludge: a global overview of the current status and future prospects (Water21 Market Briefing)
$96.00
It is well recognized everywhere that management of sludge derived from wastewater treatment is one of the most critical environmental issues, due to the very fast increase in sludge production as a result of sewerage extension, new installations and upgrading of existing facilities. Within this general picture, sludge is produced under different technical, economic and social contexts, thus requiring different approaches. This report is intended to give an overview of the sludge field in different parts of the world by summarising: current wastewater and sludge treatment provision; current and anticipated legislation; current research horizons; anticipated evolution of management approaches; and prospects for application of innovative and / or simple technologies. The report has been prepared for the Water21 Market Briefing Series in collaboration with the International Water Association's Specialist Group on Sludge Management. It is based on short contributions from: Western Europe; Eastern Europe; North America; Latin America and the Caribbean; East Asia; South Asia and China; Africa; and Australasia. These are accompanied by an introduction and overview section.

Wastewater Sludge Processing
$84.95
The book has covered quite well the different processes and techniques which can be used for sludge treatment. It is quite informative and cover the latest techniques which can be used. These can also help the operator as well as the manager to understand if the processes followed by them for sludge processing are technically correct or not.
A good addition to a reference library.

Microscopic Examination of the Activated Sludge Process (Wastewater Microbiology)
$69.95
A practical, hands-on guide to using the microscope to analyze activated sludge in wastewater treatment

The microscope provides the wastewater treatment plant operator with a special tool for process control and troubleshooting of the activated sludge process. The operator can "read" the organisms and use them as "bioindicators" to determine if operational conditions are acceptable or not acceptable. Written for plant operators and technicians and avoiding unnecessary technical jargon, Microscopic Examination of the Activated Sludge Process explores and explains: Microscopy, including microscopic measurements and techniques
Directions for preparing and applying microbiological stains and immobilizing agents and techniques for preparing wet mounts and smears
How to identify various types of organisms, including: floc particles and foam; protozoa; rotifers; worms and worm-like organisms; crustaceans; filamentous organisms; and algae and fungi
The collection, evaluation, and presentation of observations
This straightforward guide includes figures, tables, worksheets, photomicrographs, and black-and-white drawings of many living, microscopic components of the activated sludge process. It equips plant operators and technicians to monitor, regulate, and troubleshoot the treatment processes and also serves as a valuable resource for research professionals and sanitary engineers in wastewater treatment.
