About the book: This book is intended for undergraduate (B.E/B. Tech) students of civil engineering and post graduate (M.E/M.Tech) students of environmental science and engineering, and beginners in design of wastewater treatment plants. Also, it will be useful to the established designers of wastewater treatment plants, decision makers of municipal corporations, field executives and pollution control board authorities. Wastewater treatment is a vast and interdisciplinary subject. Wastewater treatment plants are very complex hydro-technical facilities. The concept of planning and design of waste water treatment plants through concise book should be easily understandable to students, beginners in process and hydraulic design of wastewater treatment plants. Once the concepts are understood and reasonably enough confidence of process and hydraulic design of wastewater treatment process is gained then one can acquire specific details of design from different sources and can handle even planning and design of large capacity wastewater/sewage plants to different site conditions and layouts. The author felt to attempt and write a book-cum-design guide covering theory of the subject which is normally required to write examinations. Much stress is given on process and hydraulic design, treatment plant hydraulics, fundamentals of hydraulics and its application in wastewater treatment plant design, and hydraulic profiling of plants. The basic hydraulic concepts are same whether they are used for design of elements of sewage treatment plant or industrial waste water treatment. A pilot project on design of 125 MLD capacity sewage treatment plant has been exercised in order to integrate the process design, hydraulic concepts, control points in plant and hydraulics of various units/components that must operate compatibly to provide the desired flow profile. The recommendations of various Indian standards and manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment of CPHEO under Ministry of Urban Development, New Delhi have been followed. The SI units of measurement are used throughout the book and in design calculations. The book contain about 100 diagrams, tables, photos and three large diagrams of sewage treatment plant’s layout, hydraulic profiling of main flow path and return flow. Book features: · Provides enough subject theory and design of wastewater treatment plants in detail. · Theory and design considerations of Activated Sludge Process(ASP) and its modifications, advanced wastewater biological treatment processes like- Sequencing Batch Reactor(SBR), Moving Bed Bio-film Reactor(MBBR), Rotating Biological Contactor(RBC), Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) process has been covered in detail. · It includes plant siting and layout development, support facilities, basics of hydraulics, plant hydraulics and pump hydraulics in depth which is required for hydraulic design and profiling of wastewater treatment plants. · A complete process and hydraulic design, and hydraulic profiling of 125 MLD sewage treatment plant. · Process design of Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process. · Appendices: Tables and Nomograms, standard sizes of pipes of various materials, gates, pumps, aerators, air blowers, and table of constants required for hydraulic calculations. Recommendation Useful to:- (a) Students of M. Tech in Environmental Engg (b) Students of B. Tech (Civil Engg) (c) Officers of Municipal corporations, and pollution control boards central/states (d) Beginner in design of wastewater treatment plants (e) Design department of wastewater treatment industries (f) Consultants (g) Advisors of urban development departments
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 associated with (i) the basic processes that take place in water bodies and in water and wastewater treatment plants and (ii) data management and statistical calculations to allow a deep interpretation of the data. This book is problem-oriented and works from practice to theory, covering most of the information you will need, such as (a) obtaining flow data and working with the concept of loading, (b) organizing sampling programmes and measurements, (c) connecting laboratory analysis to data management, (e) using numerical and graphical methods for describing monitoring data (descriptive statistics), (f) understanding and reporting removal efficiencies, (g) recognizing symmetry and asymmetry in monitoring data (normal and log-normal distributions), (h) evaluating compliance with targets and regulatory standards for effluents and water bodies, (i) making comparisons with the monitoring data (tests of hypothesis), (j) understanding the relationship between monitoring variables (correlation and regression analysis), (k) making water and mass balances, (l) understanding the different loading rates applied to treatment units, (m) learning the principles of reaction kinetics and reactor hydraulics and (n) performing calibration and verification of models. The major concepts are illustrated by 92 fully worked-out examples, which are supported by 75 freely-downloadable Excel spreadsheets. Each chapter concludes with a checklist for your report. If you are a student, researcher or practitioner planning to use or already using treatment plant and water quality monitoring data, then this book is for you! 75 Excel spreadsheets are available to download.
Step-by-step procedures for planning, design, construction and operation: * Health and environment * Process improvements * Stormwater and combined sewer control and treatment * Effluent disposal and reuse * Biosolids disposal and reuse * On-site treatment and disposal of small flows * Wastewater treatment plants should be designed so that the effluent standards and reuse objectives, and biosolids regulations can be met with reasonable ease and cost. The design should incorporate flexibility for dealing with seasonal changes, as well as long-term changes in wastewater quality and future regulations. Good planning and design, therefore, must be based on five major steps: characterization of the raw wastewater quality and effluent, pre-design studies to develop alternative processes and selection of final process train, detailed design of the selected alternative, contraction, and operation and maintenance of the completed facility. Engineers, scientists, and financial analysts must utilize principles from a wide range of disciplines: engineering, chemistry, microbiology, geology, architecture, and economics to carry out the responsibilities of designing a wastewater treatment plant. The objective of this book is to present the technical and nontechnical issues that are most commonly addressed in the planning and design reports for wastewater treatment facilities prepared by practicing engineers. Topics discussed include facility planning, process description, process selection logic, mass balance calculations, design calculations, and concepts for equipment sizing. Theory, design, operation and maintenance, trouble shooting, equipment selection and specifications are integrated for each treatment process. Thus delineation of such information for use by students and practicing engineers is the main purpose of this book.
