 | Wastewater Treatment and Reuse, Theory and Design Examples, Volume 1: Principles and Basic Treatment Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Environment and Sustainability; Ecology - Environment Studies; Civil Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering; Waste & Recycling; Water Science; This book will present the theory involved in wastewater treatment processes, define the important design parameters involved, and provide typical values of these parameters for ready reference; and also provide numerical applications and step-by-step calculation procedures in solved examples. These examples and solutions will help enhance the readers' comprehension and deeper understanding of the basic concepts, and can be applied by plant designers to design various components of the treatment facilities. It will also examine the actual calculation steps in numerical examples, focusing on practical application of theory and principles into process and water treatment facility design. Dr. Syed R.
