Mathematics Manual for Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators: Wastewater Treatment Operations

This volume covers computations and applied math problems used in wastewater treatment operations. It explains calculations for flow, velocity, and pumping; preliminary and primary treatments; trickling filtration; rotating biological contactors; and chemical dosage. It also addresses various aspects of biosolids in wastewater. The text presents math operations that progressively advance to higher, more practical applications, including math operations knowledge expected of operators at the highest level of licensure. Readers working through the book systematically will acquire a definitive understanding of performing applied water calculations that are essential for a successful career in the water industry.
