Book Description
Lumpy Water Math was written to help wastewater treatment plant operators and collection system operators with the basic problem solving ability needed to evaluate and control these systems. This understanding will help the operator use math in day-to day operation as well as help prepare for certification exams. The math will be helpful to water supply and distribution system operators as the math used is basically the same.The instruction begins with basic instruction in solving for areas and volumes, detention time, flow calculations, hydraulic and organic loading and progresses to specialty areas such as activated sludge and laboratory calculations. The book includes tips for making problem solving and use of calculators easier. Typical state design standards are listed so that problem answers can be compared to accepted values. The book includes many practice problems with answers given in the appendix to help operators become proficient in basic problem solving.

Book Description
Understandable Step-by-Step Wastewater Math Wastewater treatment plant operators use mathematics to make key process decisions. It is important for the operator to have an understanding of math fundamentals along with the technical concepts of wastewater treatment plant operation. By reviewing the math principles presented in this text and linking these principles to wastewater treatment processes, the operator can better understand and solve math related problems. This Handbook describes the typical wastewater treatment plant processes encountered by today's operator and shows how to solve process related math problems. The Math Handbook for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators is also a valuable resource in preparing the operator for math problems given on licensing examinations for wastewater treatment systems. Typical exam problems are solved in an easy to understand, step-by-step format.

Book Description
Watermaths presents the mathematics underpinning the design and operation of the individual unit process technologies used for purifying water and wastewater. The book aims to provide the reader with sufficient information to enable them to tackle the most important calculations in this area, without requiring any prior knowledge of the subject and assuming only a very basic grounding in science or engineering. It focuses on the most essential areas of knowledge required, containing tuition in basic numeracy, chemistry, process engineering and fluid physics, as well as cost analysis. The simple and succinct delivery is designed to get the reader up to speed as rapidly as possible: sufficient background information is provided to explain the purpose of the calculations, and ultimately tackle the complete wastewater reclamation plant design problem included in the book. Example calculations are provided within each chapter, each followed by exercises intended to reinforce the learning (and for which solutions are appended). Exercises range in difficulty from simple single calculational-step problems to more complex ones, and the over-arching design problem provides some context to the mathematics. The book can be understood by those relatively new to the water sector, and is intended as a primer rather than a comprehensive handbook. It is nonetheless sufficiently comprehensive to permit design calculations for most water and wastewater treatment unit processes. Core disciplines covered include: • manipulation of equations, including logarithmic and exponential expressions • fluid physics for describing flow through pipes, channels and filters • chemical concentrations and chemical/biochemical reactions • chemical/biochemical reaction kinetics • mass balance for determining fate of materials through unit processes • mass transfer for determining transfer of materials across boundaries within processes • reactor theory for designing biochemical and chemical reaction vessels • cost analysis, including capital and operating expenditure with discounting. New to the third edition: • new chapter on cost analysis • further explanation of the classical unit operations types • illustrations expanded to include unit operation schematics and symbols • new examples and exercises • updated design problem. Watermaths … just add water.

Book Description
This book provides a very basic overview of microorganisms relevant to wastewater treatment plant operator. It easy-to-understand language it provides explanations and descriptions of helpful and harmful bacteria, protozoa, and metazoa, algae, and fungus -- and their specialized function in the treatment process, helping the operator to effectively manage the Plant bacterial process. Color photos and illustrations are included within the book and on the supplemental CD-ROM for quick identification under the microscope.
