Water Treatment Plant Design
Fourth Edition
by the American Water Works Association

This classic reference—the bible of the field since 1939—has been completely updated for this new Fourth Edition, with typically unsurpassed coverage of water treatment plant design topics.

Features:

• Environmental impact and project permitting
• Site selection
• Master planning and treatment process selection
• Ion exchange
• Membrane processes
• Activated carbon processes
• Hydraulics
• Architecture
• Pilot plant design
• Construction costs
• Operations and maintenance
• And much more!

Let a team of water treatment plant design experts—more than 40 international authorities—give you comprehensive guidance on modernizing existing water treatment facilities and planning new ones—from initial plans and permits through design, construction, and start-up.

In addition, you'll learn about the latest U.S. EPA regulations and about flexible design that can meet anticipated requirements, and find a wealth of information on instrumentation and control and structural, electrical, and design reliability developments—plus updates on water treatment methods such as aeration, coagulation, flocculation, clarification, filtration, oxidation, and disinfection.
