Biological Treatment of Wastewater: Principles, Modeling, and Design

This is a textbook covering the principles and practice of wastewater treatment, written for a new generation of scientists and engineers entering the field. It draws together advances from the past two decades across chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics, moving the discipline away from empirical methods toward a first-principles approach. The material has been developed to the point where much of it is expressed through mathematical models suitable for computer simulation, giving readers both the conceptual foundations and the quantitative tools needed to work in modern wastewater treatment.
