1st Edition
Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes Mass and Heat Balances
The focus of the book is on how to use mass and heat balances to simulate and design biological wastewater treatment processes. All the main processes for biological wastewater treatment are covered viz. activated sludge processes for carbon and nitrogen removal, anaerobic digestion, sequencing batch reactors, and attached growth processes.
Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes. Modelling Processes in Biological Wastewater Treatment. Mass Balances, Energy Balances and Parameter Estimation. The Activated Sludge Process. The Anaerobic Digestion Process. The Sequencing Batch Reactor. Attached Growth Processes. Appendixes.
