BIOLOGICAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESSES MASS AND HEAT BALANCES

Features Provides pedagogical background for the use of models in design, control, and optimization of biological wastewater treatment Illustrates writing and solving mass balances/design and optimizing process performance for biological wastewater treatment processes Shows how to solve all the steady-state design equations simultaneously Describes the calculation of pH in wastewater treatment processes using wastewater alkalinity, chemical equilibria, biological kinetics, and mass balance as inputs Includes homework problems, case studies, and examples, making it a strong potential for use as textbook material pertaining to process modeling and process design Summary 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 attach
