Synopsis

Technical information for using activated sludge to treat effluents from multiple industries Covers virtually all traditional and advanced methods, as well as treatability and process modeling New methods for removing U.S. and European regulated microconstituents, trace organics, active pharmaceutical ingredients and other contaminants Explains advances in water reuse and plant retrofitting Useful for in-house training -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This comprehensive book presents critical information on the applications of activated sludge for treating industrial wastewaters, as well as other effluents that impact POTWs. The book offers details on how advances in activated sludge can be deployed to meet more stringent discharge limits by explaining many novel variations of activated sludge and offering technical guidance on process modeling and optimization. Special attention is given to emerging contaminants and water reuse strategies. Case studies are drawn from the pharma, food and shale gas industries. Based on short courses taught by the authors, as well as hundreds of hours of in-plant consulting, this book offers the tools to understand and modify the activated sludge process for superior and sustainable wastewater treatment.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Authors' Preface: "After speaking with practitioners, operators and engineers, the authors felt a new text was needed...to cover the following developments: "the continued evolution of the activated sludge process and its numerous designs, configurations and technology developments; "design of industrial water reuse systems...to achieve industry sustainability goals; "changes...from BOD, TSS and nutrient removal to removal of specific organics, toxicity...microconstituents, and more stringent effluent permit limits; "advances in process modeling tools that can be used in combination with treatability testing tools for plant design, optimization and troubleshooting; "concerns over industrial wastewater discharge impacts to POTWs, such as nitrification inhibition, the impact of frac water...and the fate of microconstituents through POTWs."

W. Wesley Eckenfelder, Jr., D.Sc., P.E., who passed away in March 2010 during the writing of this book, was one of the world's foremost authorities, teacher, consultant and lecturer on industrial wastewater treatment. He consulted for over 200 industries, municipalities and government agencies. Dr. Eckenfelder conducted hundreds of workshops and lectures and authored over 200 technical papers. He authored or edited 30 books. He won numerous awards and honors including the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Industrial Water Quality Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. He taught at Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York, University of Texas at Austin and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He was also a founder or co-founder of well-known engineering firms including Weston, Hydroscience and Associated Water and Air Resources Engineers (AWARE). Wes was a down to earth guy who could understand and talk to students, plant operators and engineers and explain and discuss complex problems in simple terms.Joseph G. Cleary, P.E., BCEE, is a Senior Vice President and Industrial Wastewater Technical Leader at HDR | HydroQual in Mahwah, New Jersey. He is a Professional Engineer in several states and Puerto Rico and a Board Certified Environmental Engineer by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists. Mr. Cleary has 40 years of experience consulting industrial clients including specializing in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage and pulp and paper. He has designed treatment plants in the U.S., Puerto Rico, South America and Europe. He has lectured at numerous workshops and presented over 50 technical papers. He was Chair of both the Water Environment Federation's Industrial Wastewater Committee and the Microconstituents Community of Practice. He recently received the WEF Industrial Water Quality Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 and the Heukelekian Award for Outstanding Contribution in Industrial Waste Control from the NJWEA in 2009. He holds Bachelor and Master degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Manhattan College.
