Wastewater Engineering
Treatment and Reuse
Fourth Edition
by Metcalf & Eddy, Inc.

Wastewater Engineering is a thorough update of this authoritative book on wastewater treatment.

Wastewater Engineering describes the technological and regulatory changes that have occurred over the last ten years in this discipline, including:

• improved techniques for the characterization of wastewaters
• improved fundamental understanding of many of the existing unit operations and processes used for wastewater treatment, especially those processes used for the biological removal of nutrients
• greater implementation of several newer treatment technologies (e.g., UV disinfection, membrane filtration, and heat drying)
• greater concern for the long term health and environmental impacts of wastewater constituents
• greater emphasis on advanced wastewater treatment and risk assessment for water reuse applications
• changes in regulations and the development of new technologies for wastewater disinfection
• new regulations governing the treatment, reuse, and disposal of sludge (biosolids)
• greater concern for infrastructure renewal including upgrading the design and performance of wastewater treatment plants

Wastewater Engineering contains a strong focus on advanced wastewater treatment technologies and stresses the reuse aspects of wastewater and biosolids.
