E-raamat: Design and Operation of Activated Sludge Processes Using Respirometry

Explains how to use process control models that are calibrated using respirometry the measurement of the oxygen uptake of biomass to generate information for designing and operating aerobic biological waste treatment systems. Useful not only for those who build such systems, but also for those in the market for one. Lists two helpful computer programs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

This book provides a thorough overview of respirometry and its scientific and engineering basis. The book describes the fundamentals of biological waste treatment, development of predictive models for system design and operation, and how respirometry fits in with these operations. It also presents case studies, which give you concrete examples of the application of respirometry.

This book will help activated sludge process control designers, operators, and managers of biological wastewater treatment facilitieslearn how to improve methods for the analysis of biological wastewater systems, enhance design and treatability projects, optimize and troubleshoot plant operations, and accurately predict the impact of new loads or streams on biological wastewater facilities.
