Description
Book Synopsis: The activated sludge process is the most versatile, commonly used wastewater treatment system in North America; however, many activated sludge processes frequently experience operational problems related to poor compaction or settleability of secondary solids and loss of secondary solids from the clarifier. Eschewing the technical jargon and copious chemical equations found in the majority of wastewater studies, Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Process speaks directly to plant operators, showing them how to identify and solve common problems and achieve maximum efficiency.
Michael H. Gerardi’s hands-on guide addresses the most common plant operational problems, such as increased costs, loss of treatment efficiency, and permit violations. Using numerous tables and illustrations, Settleability Problems provides microscopic and analytical techniques for troubleshooting and identifying the conditions responsible for settleability problems and loss of solids. It includes pictures of wet mounts and smears of acceptable and unacceptable microscopic conditions of the activated sludge and presents corrective measures for operational problems.
Chapters include:
- Undesired Filamentous Growth
- Nutrient-Deficient Floc Particles
- Denitrification
- Slug Discharge of Soluble cBOD
- Viscous Bulking or Zoogloeal Growth
- Production and Accumulation of Foam and Scum
Volume II in the series, Settleability Problems will prove to be of unparalleled value to wastewater treatment plant operators as well as students of wastewater microbiology.
Details
Are you tired of dealing with operational problems in your wastewater treatment system? Look no further! Introducing Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Process - the ultimate guide for plant operators, designed to help you identify and solve common problems in your treatment process.
In North America, the activated sludge process is widely used for wastewater treatment. However, poor compaction and settleability of secondary solids, along with the loss of solids from the clarifier, can lead to increased costs, loss of treatment efficiency, and permit violations. That's where Settleability Problems comes in.
Written by Michael H. Gerardi, an expert in the field, this hands-on guide provides practical solutions to the most common operational problems faced by plant operators. No more sifting through technical jargon and complex equations - Settleability Problems speaks your language and gives you the tools you need to achieve maximum efficiency.
With the help of numerous tables, illustrations, and pictures of microscopic conditions, Settleability Problems offers troubleshooting techniques to identify the underlying causes of settleability problems and loss of solids. Whether it's undesired filamentous growth, nutrient-deficient floc particles, or the production of foam and scum - this book has got you covered.
If you're looking to improve the performance of your wastewater treatment system and avoid costly issues, Settleability Problems is the answer. Don't miss out on this unparalleled resource - get your copy today and take control of your plant's efficiency!
