Treatment Wetland Processes, Design, and Implementation presents a state-of-the-art coverage of wetlands applied to the treatment of municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, combined sewer overflows, sludge and other sources. It builds upon the highly acclaimed previous editions of Treatment Wetlands, but includes a wealth of new information, data, concepts and approaches that are in syntony with the new developments in the field.Focusing on subsurface flow wetlands, the text has been thoroughly revised, fully updated and expanded, including a new and detailed coverage of important treatment wetland variants, such as horizontal flow, vertical flow, French vertical flow, aerated, fill-and-drain, combined sewer overflow and sludge treatment wetlands.Treatment Wetland Processes, Design, and Implementation contains a carefully planned balance between theory and practice, with a clear and didactic presentation of the main concepts, working principles, expected performance, design criteria, construction aspects, and operational guidelines of treatment wetlands with a worldwide perspective on application. The book is an essential source for novice and experienced professionals, researchers, teachers, and students across the globe.KEY FEATURESThe most comprehensive and updated book on subsurface flow treatment wetlandsAvailable in print version and as open-access e-bookWastewater treatment fundamentals applied to treatment wetland process designOver 1,000 pages with information at basic, intermediate, and advanced levelsClear and didactic color artwork, photographs, charts, and summary tablesFully executed practical design examples supported by downloadable spreadsheets

The ebook edition of this title is freely available as an Open Access text. Treatment Wetlands is the seventh volume in the Biological Wastewater Treatment series, which gives a state-of-the-art presentation of the science and technology of sewage treatment. The major variants of wetland systems are covered in this volume, namely: (i) horizontal flow wetlands; (ii) vertical flow wetlands; (iii) French vertical flow wetlands; (iv) intensified wetlands; (v) free water surface wetlands; (vi) other applications of treatment wetlands. The book presents in a clear and didactic way the main concepts, working principles, expected performance, design criteria, design examples, construction aspects and operational guidelines. The book has been written by an international team of top experts in the field of treatment wetlands.

Wastewater Characteristics, Treatment and Disposal is the first volume in the series Biological Wastewater Treatment, presenting an integrated view of water quality and wastewater treatment. The book covers the following topics: wastewater characteristics (flow and major constituents) impact of wastewater discharges to rivers and lakes overview of wastewater treatment systems complementary items in planning studies.This book, with its clear and practical approach, lays the foundations for the topics that are analysed in more detail in the other books of the series. About the series: The series is based on a highly acclaimed set of best selling textbooks. This international version is comprised by six textbooks giving a state-of-the-art presentation of the science and technology of biological wastewater treatment.  Other titles in the series are: Volume 2: Basic Principles of Wastewater Treatment; Volume 3: Waste Stabilisation Ponds; Volume 4: Anaerobic Reactors; Volume 5: Activated Sludge and Aerobic Biofilm Reactors; Volume 6: Sludge Treatment and Disposal

Waste Stabilisation Ponds  is the third volume in the series Biological Wastewater Treatment. The major variants of pond systems are fully covered, namely: facultative ponds anaerobic ponds aerated lagoons maturation ponds The book presents in a clear and informative way the main concepts, working principles, expected removal efficiencies, design criteria, design examples, construction aspects, operational guidelines and sludge managment for pond systems. About the series: The series is based on a highly acclaimed set of best selling textbooks.

Activated Sludge and Aerobic Biofilm Reactors is the fifth volume in the series Biological Wastewater Treatment. The first part of the book is devoted to the activated sludge process, covering the removal of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus.A detailed analysis of the biological reactor (aeration tank) and the final sedimentation tanks is provided. The second part of the book covers aerobic biofilm reactors, especially trickling filters, rotating biological contractors and submerged aerated biofilters. For all the systems, the book presents in a clear and informative way the main concepts, working principles, expected removal efficiencies, design criteria, design examples, construction aspects and operational guidelines. About the series: The series is based on a highly acclaimed set of best selling textbooks.
