Description
Chemical engineers face complex challenges when treating industrial wastewater streams with highly variable composition, aiming to make the water suitable for reuse in the plant or discharge in compliance with regulatory and environmental standards.
This Chemical Engineering Guidebook compiles practical, tutorial-style articles for professionals involved in wastewater-treatment activities. The collection provides engineering recommendations for equipment selection, system design, operation, and maintenance for effective treatment of industrial wastewater.
Several articles focus on biological treatment, offering guidance on selecting and optimizing microorganisms for degrading organic contaminants and maintaining activated-sludge systems. Additional guidance covers pumps, valves, and piping, which are integral to all water- and wastewater-treatment systems. Project management and cost-estimation tips for capital projects are also included.
