Summary |
"This book provides a practical guide to improving the performance of water treatment plants. The principles and ideas presented have been shown to be effective in increasing the capacity of water treatment plants and improving the quality of the effluent water, and are based on extensive experience in upgrading a variety of treatment plants throughout the world. The procedures proposed apply not only to the optimization of existing treatment plants but also to the design of new ones." "This book will be an invaluable source of information for those who are responsible for designing, operating, maintaining or upgrading water treatment plants. It will also be useful for managers of water agencies, environmental health officers and students."--BOOK JACKET |
