Synopsis

This book is devoted to the principles of water treatment and the design of water treatment facilities. It is intended for the practitioner, the on-the-line person who actually is responsible for putting something on paper so that it can be constructed and operated. The end product has to be a potable water that people can drink and utilize in a safe manner. The book also should be of value to the student as a reference on some process or design problem in which he or she may be interested. It covers both theory and practice to the best of our knowledge, but with the constraint of wanting to put the information in one reasonable-size book.

About this title

From the Back Cover

BY A BESTSELLING AUTHOR TEAM THE MUST–HAVE REFERENCE ON WATER TREATMENT PRINCIPLES FOR STUDENTS

From the same distinguished author team that brought you the bestselling reference Water Treatment comes this new offering for students wishing to gain a solid understanding of the latest developments in water treatment processes. It maintains the same quality writing, illustrations, and worked examples as the author team′s larger Water Treatment but does so in a more digestible and specifically focused format. It covers conventional processes like coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration but unlike any other water treatment book of this size, it gives equal coverage to advanced technologies like adsorption, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and advanced oxidation.

Complete with example problems, chapter summaries, end–of–chapter review questions, and access to a solutions manual online, Principles of Water Treatment provides all of the tools necessary for a civil or environmental engineering or water resources student to launch a successful and rewarding career.
