Biosolids engineering and management

Over the last 30 years, pollution and its effects on the environment have emerged as leading topics of interest. The desire for positive action to restore and protect the environment is growing worldwide. How serious are particular types of pollution? Is technology currently available to abate pollution? And do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? In the series, Handbook of Environmental Engineering, these questions are answered for the three basic forms of pollution and waste: gas, solid and liquid. Volume 7 inthe series, Biosolids Engineering and Management, is a collection of methods of practical design, calculation and numerical examples that illustrate how organized, analytical reasoning can lead to the discovery of clear, direct solutions, especially in the areas of biosolids management, treatment, disposal andbeneficial use. Detailed discussion of cutting-edge biosolid engineering and management technologies Extensive collection of detailed design examples and case histories Up-to-date references, cost data, and design methods Suitable asan advanced level textbook and a comprehensive reference INDICE: Transport and Pumping of Sewage-Sludge and Biosolids.- Conversion of Sewage-Sludge to Biosolids.- Biosolids Thickening-Dewatering and Septage Treatment.- Waste Chlorination and Stabilization.- Storage of Sewage-Sludge and Biosolids.- Regulations and Costs of Biosolids Disposal and Reuse (Nks Leading).- Engineering and Management of Agricultural Land Application.- Biosolids Land Disposal and Bioreactor Landfill.- Ocean Disposal Technology and Assessment.- Combustion and Incineration Engineering.- Combustion and Incineration Management.- Beneficial Utilization of Biosolids.- Process Selection of Biosolids Management Systems.- Appendix.
