Activated Sludge - Wanner, Jiri

. .

Résumé :
The result of over 25 years of research, this book is a concise guide to the microbiological and technical aspects of bulking and foaming control. It stresses practical control measures based on kinetic and metabolic selection theories and supported by case histories. Topics include: biochemical processes in wastewater treatment, evaluation of separation problems, settling and foaming principles, bulking and foaming control methods, and system design. More than 100 tables and figures illustrate complex processes, and over 500 references provide a detailed compendium of available resources. Cross-references provide background of a problem, its connection to similar problems, and their solutions....
