The updated and expanded guide for
handling industrial wastes and designing a wastewater treatment plant
The revised and updated second edition of
provides a hands-on guide to industrial wastewater treatment theory, practices, and issues. It offers information for the effective design of water and wastewater treatment facilities and contains material on how to handle the wide-variety of industrial wastes. The book is based on a course developed and taught by the author for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
The author reviews the most current industrial practices and goals, describes how the water industry works, and covers the most important aspects of the industry. In addition, the book explores a wide-range of approaches for managing industrial wastes such as oil, blood, protein and more. A comprehensive resource, the text covers such basic issues as water pollution, wastewater treatment techniques, sampling and measurement, and explores the key topic of biological modeling for designing wastewater treatment plants. This important book:
Offers an updated and expanded text for dealing with real-world wastewater problems Contains new chapters on: Reverse Osmosis and desalination; Skin and Membrane Filtration; and Cooling tower water treatment Presents a guide filled with helpful examples and diagrams that is ideal for both professionals and students Includes information for handling industrial wastes and designing water and wastewater treatment plants Written for civil or chemical engineers and students,
offers the information and techniques needed to solve problems of wastewater treatment.

Dedication

I want to thank several people for their inspiration. A second edition of a book is harder than writing a first edition, and a lot more work to ensure that one has something to say.

The following people provided motivation for this effort:

Elizabeth Ann Eason

Marianne Russell (1942–2007)

My girls: Laura Russell and Jennifer Russell

and

their girls: Edda, Zola and Miriam

Also a special note of thanks to Dr Benito Jose Marinas, Distinguished Professor and current head of the College of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, for recognition.

And finally, Bob Esposito of Wiley for patience with an author.

Acknowledgments

I have been privileged to have known several giants in the environmental field. Many of them have already passed on, but their contribution of time and effort to the field of environmental engineering cannot be overlooked. Standing on the shoulders of these giants has given me a platform to be able to look out at the field and write a series of environmental books on various topics, including this work. I wish to acknowledge their contributions to the field of environmental engineering at this point:

Professor Richard S. Englebrecht, former head of the Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Illinois, Urbana, for encouragement to follow my dreams.

Dr John Austin (U of I), for assistance at a difficult time in my academic career.

Dr Benjamin Ewing (U of I), for invaluable advice on career selection.

Dr V. T. Chow (U of I), for his body of work on open channel flow and hydrology.

And some really great bosses over the years:

Leon Mattioli and Richard Sobel of Allied Chemical Specialty Chemicals Division, Claymont, DE, and Morristown, NJ.

J. S. Lagarias, and Dr Louis McCabe of Resources Research, Inc. (Division of Hazelton Laboratories, Reston, VA).

Dr Robert Irvine, PhD, rediscoverer of the Sequencing Batch Reactor.

Dr Pieter VanRolleghem, mathematician, engineer, and creator of WEST software.

And some very dear friends and professional associates:

Dr Charles Calmbacher, PhD, CIH

David R. Vaughn, PE

Dr Jeremy Dudley, PEng

Thomas McGowan, PE

Dr Donald Ray, PE

Leroy Staska

Thank you all.

Preface

The first edition of this book was developed from a course I taught for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. It was a first attempt to introduce industrial wastewater treatment theory, practices, and issues into the Chemical Engineering community as a stand‐alone discipline. It ultimately led to the first edition of this book.

There is a natural separation between industry and academia, and consequently the academics teach the basics of engineering, but more and more the separation between the way the subject material is taught and the way it is practiced is growing. Historically, much of the wastewater treatment field has been the provenance of the civil engineering community because of its association with sanitary engineering. Much of the time I spent in consulting, designing, and supervising the construction of municipal wastewater treatment plants was profoundly formulaic, and a largely mechanical exercise requiring little imagination and presenting few new challenges. The treatment of industrial wastes was far more interesting because the wastes varied so greatly, and their treatment required imagination and research.

My introduction to industrial wastewater treatment came through a Philadelphia‐based consulting company, and then subsequent work assignments for companies specializing in industrial wastewater treatment, and ultimately into the chemical industry. At one point, along the way, I realized that I was much more at home with the chemical engineers than with the civil engineers, and I still am.

This book was developed to give the student and the experienced practitioner some information and balance with regard to industrial practices and goals, and to describe how the water industry works, and what is important in it. I have tried to cover a wide range of topics to dump the more than 40 years of my experience into this brief volume to help the reader investigate the topics, and point out useful tools for further study and mastery of the subjects. I do not try to solve problems for the reader, but have provided a few problems on topics of interest.

Mistakes in this volume are mine alone. In compiling this work, I have amassed a wide list of reference materials, and have attempted to download a copy of the references for my own use, and to make them available to others. The Internet is full of both permanent and temporary information. Some of the information I have provided through links will undoubtedly be obsolete by the time this book is published or has a few years of age on it. So, if in researching the topics in the book, one finds that a key topic or paper is missing, contact me, and I will send you a copy of the individual paper, or the entire set of references for your digital library.

Dave Russell, PE
