Following in the footsteps of previous highly successful and useful
editions, Biological Wastewater Treatment, Third Edition presents
the theoretical principles and design procedures for biochemical
operations used in wastewater treatment processes. It reflects
important changes and advancements in the field, such as a revised
treatment of the microbiology and kinetics of nutrient removal and
an update of the simulation of biological phosphorous removal with
a more contemporary model. See what's new in the Third Edition: A
chapter devoted to the description and simulation of anaerobic
bioreactors Coverage of applications of submerged attached growth
bioreactors Expanded discussion of modeling attached growth systems
Increased information on the fate and effects of trace contaminants
as they relate to xenobiotic organic chemicals A chapter on
applying biochemical unit operations to design systems for greater
sustainability The book describes named biochemical operations in
terms of treatment objectives, biochemical environment, and reactor
configuration; introduces the format and notation used throughout
the text; and presents the basic stoichiometry and kinetics of
microbial reactions that are key to quantitative descriptions of
biochemical operations. It then examines the stoichiometry and
kinetics used to investigate the theoretical performance of
biological reactors containing microorganisms suspended in the
wastewater. The authors apply this theory to the operations
introduced, taking care to highlight the practical constraints that
ensure system functionality in the real world. The authors focus on
further biochemical operations in which microorganisms grow
attached to solid surfaces, adding complexity to the analysis, even
though the operations are often simpler in application. They
conclude with a look to the future, introducing the fate and
effects of xenobiotic and trace contaminants in wastewater
treatment systems and examining how the application of biochemical
operations can lead to a more sustainable world.
