Waste water treatment is the largest biotechnology industry in the
world, handling and disposing of domestic and industrial wastes so
they present no threat to the general populace or the environment
at large. The activated sludge process is the cornerstone of sewage
treatment systems. Although it is a biological process and has been
in use for more than 80 years, we still lack detailed understanding
of how it works and how its performance might be better controlled
and manipulated. This book presents a comprehensive review of what
is currently known about the general microbiology of activated
sludge and some of the bacteria responsible for the major
operational problems encountered. Current understanding and the
existing literature are critically assessed and new potentially
valuable areas for research suggested. Methodology particularly
appropriate to the study of the bacteria that cause bulking and
foaming is described, and there is an identification section
consisting of photomicrographs and detailed descriptions of the
filamentous and other bacteria commonly seen in activated sludge
plants. The impact of molecular methods on our understanding of
activated sludge microbiology is emphasized throughout the book.
The book will be of immediate interest to both microbiologists and
waste water engineers, and has been written so as to be relevant
and understandable to both. It will also be of interest and value
to postgraduate students and researchers working in the fields of
environmental engineering, general microbiology and microbial
ecology.
