Overview

The Practical Handbook Engineers Keep on Their Desk

Most wastewater engineering books are written for academics. This one is written for the people who actually design, build, and operate industrial treatment plants.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment: A Practical Guide to Design, Operation, and Optimization covers every major treatment technology used in industrial facilities-from screening and primary clarification through activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, advanced oxidation, membrane systems, and sludge disposal-with the real engineering data that gets projects built and plants running.

What Makes This Book Different

Real cost data throughout-capital costs, operating costs, and lifecycle economics for every major process, not just theory
Four detailed case studies with actual performance numbers: a brewery optimization delivering $527,500/year in savings, a pharmaceutical plant achieving 549% ROI on water reuse, a dairy treatment plant, and a food processing upgrade
46 reference tables and 14 process diagrams covering design criteria, equipment sizing, troubleshooting, chemical dosing, and comparative performance
Complete troubleshooting guidance-12 common operational problems with step-by-step diagnostic procedures, plus industry-specific guides for food processing, brewery, pharmaceutical, and textile wastewater
10 appendices, including design criteria summaries, cost-estimating tools, formulas, equipment specifications, and a comprehensive water reuse decision framework
Coverage Includes
Screening, grit removal, flow equalization, and primary clarification
Activated sludge design and operation (conventional, extended aeration, SBR, MBR)
Anaerobic treatment systems, including UASB reactors and biogas recovery
Nutrient removal-biological nitrogen and phosphorus processes
Advanced treatment: filtration, activated carbon, ion exchange, ozone, UV, AOP
Water reuse system design and economics
Sludge thickening, dewatering, stabilization, and disposal options
Plant design, equipment sizing, process selection, and capital cost estimation
Performance optimization, including energy, chemical, and sludge management
Regulatory compliance across US, EU, and Asian discharge standards

Who This Book Is For

Environmental and process engineers designing new treatment systems or upgrading existing plants. Plant managers and operators looking to optimize performance and reduce costs. Consultants are preparing feasibility studies and cost estimates. Engineering students entering the industrial water sector.

Whether you are sizing an equalization tank for a new dairy plant, troubleshooting a bulking sludge problem at 2 AM, or building a business case for a water reuse system, this book gives you the numbers, the methods, and the worked examples to get it done.
