Bioanalytical Tools in Water Quality Assessment reviews the application of bioanalytical tools for assessment of water quality including surveillance monitoring.

This second edition of the book updates practices and technologies that have been introduced or further developed in recent years in leakage detection.

This book presents the basic principles for evaluating water quality and treatment plant performance in a clear, innovative and didactic way, using a combined approach that involves the interpretation of monitoring data.

Watermaths presents the mathematics underpinning the design and operation of the individual unit process technologies used for purifying water and wastewater. The book aims to provide the reader with sufficient information to enable them to tackle the most important calculations in this area, without requiring any prior knowledge of the subject and assuming only a very basic grounding in science or engineering. It focuses on the most essential areas of knowledge required, containing tuition in basic numeracy, chemistry, process engineering and fluid physics, as well as cost analysis. The simple and succinct delivery is designed to get the reader up to speed as rapidly as possible: sufficient background information is provided to explain the purpose of the calculations, and ultimately tackle the complete wastewater reclamation plant design problem included in the book. Example calculations are provided within each chapter, each followed by exercises intended to reinforce the learning (and for which solutions are appended). Exercises range in difficulty from simple single calculational-step problems to more complex ones, and the over-arching design problem provides some context to the mathematics. The book can be understood by those relatively new to the water sector, and is intended as a primer rather than a comprehensive handbook. It is nonetheless sufficiently comprehensive to permit design calculations for most water and wastewater treatment unit processes. Core disciplines covered include: manipulation of equations, including logarithmic and exponential expressions fluid physics for describing flow through pipes, channels and filters chemical concentrations and chemical/biochemical reactions chemical/biochemical reaction kinetics mass balance for determining fate of materials through unit processes mass transfer for determining transfer of materials across boundaries within processes reactor theory for designing biochemical and chemical reaction vessels cost analysis, including capital and operating expenditure with discounting. New to the third edition: new chapter on cost analysis further explanation of the classical unit operations types illustrations expanded to include unit operation schematics and symbols new examples and exercises updated design problem. Watermaths just add water.

This STR presents the latest technology applications within an innovative planning framework of multi-purpose wetland design. It also includes practical design information collected from over twenty years of experience from practitioners and academics, covering experiments at laboratory and pilot-scale up to full-scale applications.

Anaerobic Sewage Treatment: Optimization of process and physical design of anaerobic and complementary processes provides information on process design and reactor design of anaerobic sewage treatment systems consisting of UASB technology followed by post treatment systems. Attention will be paid to the design of sludge and biogas handling facilities. Additionally, novel developments will be discussed and placed into context. Written primarily as a textbook to be used at higher education institutes for educational purposes, this important new publication will also of interest to practitioners and academics.

Reducing Energy for Urban Water and Wastewater shows how cities can reduce energy use, cut costs and curb greenhouse gas emissions.

'We are experiencing the beginning of an energy revolution in these early years of the 21st century.' Water, Energy, and Environment - A Primer provides an introduction to, and explanation of, this revolution.

This book proposes Regenerative Sanitation as the next era of sanitation management and attempts to provide a foundation for the study of sanitation on the premise that sanitation is a complex and dynamic system that comprises of social-ecological, technological and resource systems.

La transicion hacia unas empresas de agua y saneamiento urbano con bajas emisiones de carbono es una idea innovadora que actualmente solo ha sido adaptada por unas pocas empresas con vision de futuro.

Resilient Water Services and Systems: The Foundation of Well-Being provides an overarching framework on water and sanitation services and how they are coping with resilience, aging infrastructure and climate change.

This book describes and defines the broad landscape in the research area of trace elements in anaerobic biotechnologies, from the level of advanced chemistry and single microbial cells, through to engineering and bioreactor technology and to the fate of trace elements in the environment.

El Manual presenta una perspectiva de derechos humanos que agregara valor a la toma de decisiones informadas en las operaciones diarias de los operadores, gerentes y reguladores.
