Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations
In Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations , the intent of the author is twofold. The Þrst intent is to consolidate the information and experience in waterworks and wastewater treatment plant operations that have evolved as a result of technological advances in the Þeld, and as a result of the concepts and policies promulgated by the environmental laws and the subsequent guidelines. The second intent is to discuss step-bystep procedures for the correct and efÞcient operation of water and wastewater treatment systems. Tertiary to this twofold intent is the proper preparation of operators to qualify for state licensure and certiÞcation examinations.
With the impetus given to water quality improvement through the Municipal Construction Grants Program, the
United States has undertaken an unprecedented building program for new and improved water and wastewater treatment systems. To date, much emphasis has been placed on training engineers to plan, design, and construct treatment facilities. At present, many programs in various engineering disciplines at many universities offer courses in water and wastewater treatment plant design and operation.
This text is not about the planning, designing, or construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities.
While these tasks are paramount to conception and construction of needed facilities and needed infrastructure,
many excellent texts are available that cover these important areas. This text is not about engineering at all. Instead, it is about operations and is designed for the operator. We often forget the old axiom: someone must build it, but once built, someone must operate it. It is the operation of it that concerns us here.
