Book Description
The availability of a reliable supply of water is one of the most
important determinants of human health, with the supply of clean drinking water
being a multibillion dollar industry in the developed world and a key concern
for less developed countries. Introduction to Potable Water Treatment Processes
illustrates the link between raw water quality and treatment process selection
and performance. Individual chapters concentrate on specific water treatment
processes, detailing the chemical and engineering principles behind the process,
and further illustrating process implementation by the use of process flow
diagrams, photographs and case studies. The final three chapters look
specifically at the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants and at the
treatment and disposal of sludge. With introductory chapters covering both
UK/European legislation and WHO guidance, and a general introduction to process
flow diagrams, Introduction to Potable Water Treatment Processes is essential
reading for anyone operating or managing a water treatment process, or carrying
out research on water treatment processes.
