Industrial Water Quality, Fourth Edition
by: W.Wesley Eckenfelder, Davis L. Ford, Andrew J. Englande
Abstract: The classic guide to controlling industrialwater pollution–updated with the latest regulations and new technologies. Turn to the Fourth Edition of Industrial Water Quality for guidance on state-of-the-art methods for optimizing or upgrading existing wastewater treatment systems, as well as selecting the best treatment options to solve specific wastewater problems. This hands-on tool reflects today’s more stringent water-quality regulations and the new technologies developed to meet them. Filled with examples and case studies from a variety of industries, the book covers reverse osmosis or alternative membrane processes and discusses Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) processes.
