Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

Sales Handle Comprehensive coverage of water treatment plant design and construction and water storage and distribution, with a strong emphasis on modern design practice.About the Book A recent survey conducted by the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) found that there is a need for a book of water and wastewater engineering that contained information on design. Municipal Water and Wastewater Engineering follows the design of municipal water and wastewater systems from the source of raw water to the discharg... MOREe of treated wastewater in a project format rather than in a unit operations/unit processes format. It covers water supply, treatment, and distribution, as well as presents a theoretical basis of the design of unit operations and processes that will introduce the design elements. The book emphasizes modern design practice. It begins with an overview of the design and construction process, including the application of the code of ethics in the process. Computer-aided design (CAD) is integrated in the discussion and applied in the end-of-chapter problems.Features 100 example problems 300 end-of-chapter problems "Hints from the field" that bring real-life experience to solving technical issues Contains information on disinfection and residuals management'�with special attention given to removal of arsenic, iron and manganese, taste and odor, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Includes discussion of utility of computer-aided design (CAD) in the design process Supplementary material: An Instructor's manual that will include solutions for end-of-chapter problems, example course outlines, selected course objectives, and sample examinations. Useful as a review text for the professional engineer's licensing examinationMarket/Audience Publicly- and privately owned municipal utilities (130,000); Environmental Engineers; Consultant Engineers; Undergraduate and graduate students (who take such courses as "Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design," "Water Supply and Pollution Control," Water and Wastewater Engineering," and "Unit Operations/Processes in Water and Wastewater Treatment")About the Author Mackenzie L. Davis, Ph.D., P.E., DEE (Okemos, MI)is Emeritus Professor of Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Michigan State University'�where, for twenty years, he taught the senior level design course Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design. Davis, who received his Ph.D., Environmental Engineering, from the University of Illinois, has taught the following courses: Introduction to Environmental Engineering; Water and Wastewater Analysis; and Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design. Dr. Davis is currently working on the development of plant-scale facility of drinking water research. The author/co-author of numerous journal articles, conference proceedings papers, and book, he is the author of the McGraw-Hill publication Introduction to Environmental Engineering, Fourth Edition (McGraw-Hill, 2006).

An In-Depth Guide to Water and Wastewater EngineeringThis authoritative volume offers comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of municipal water and wastewater facilities. The book addresses water treatment in detail, following the flow of water through the unit processes of coagulation, flocculation, softening, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and residuals management. Each stage of wastewater treatmentpreliminary, primary, secondary, and tertiaryis examined along with residuals management.Water and Wastewater Engineeringcontains more than 100 example problems, 500 end-of-chapter problems, and 300 illustrations. Safety issues and operation and maintenance procedures are also discussed in this definitive resource.Coverage includes: Intake structures and wells; Chemical handling and storage; Coagulation and flocculation; Lime soda and ion exchange softening; Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration; Sedimentation; Granular and membrane filtration; Disinfection and fluoridation; Removal of specific constituents; Drinking water plant residuals management, process selection, and integration; Storage and distribution systems; Wastewater collection and treatment design considerations; Sanitary sewer design; Headworks and preliminary treatment; Primary treatment; Wastewater microbiology; Secondary treatment by suspended and attached growth biological processes; Secondary settling, disinfection, and post aeration; Tertiary treatment; Wastewater plant residuals management; Clean water plant process selection and integration
