This WEF publication serves as a comprehensive summary of water reclamation technologies and practices for minimizing liquid discharge for a broad range of industries. It begins with an overview of factors influencing industry to seek to minimize liquid discharges, followed by a review of alternative technologies, performance expectations, management framework, sustainability tools, and concludes with case studies with input from academia, equipment manufacturers, consultants, and industry. This publication will be of use to practitioners, consultants, management, and R&D professionals who want a timely update on the technologies in use and on those technologies on the horizon to provide the highest rates of water recovery in industrial practice. The industrial sectors covered include the oil and gas sector (unconventional oil and gas, produced and petroleum refining water), pharmaceutical, textile, automotive, manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage. The book covers a much broader perspective than North America, including technology development and sustainable applications within the water scarce yet growing regions of Central and South America, Asia, and the Middle East.
This manual, a revision of the Water Environment Federation's (WEF's) and the American Society of Civil Engineer's (ASCE's) manual of practice (MOP) titled Urban Runoff Quality Management (1998), takes a holistic view and espouses the concept that systems of stormwater controls can be designed to meet the various objectives of stormwater management, including flood control; stream channel protection; groundwater recharge; water quality improvement; protection of public safety, health, and welfare; and multipurpose public benefits such as the provision of open space, parks, playgrounds, trails, wildlife habitat, and enhancement of property values. This MOP focuses on consolidating technologies under a comprehensive view of stormwater management in an attempt to foster convergence between traditional stormwater controls and green infrastructure. Developed by WEF and ASCE.
Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals III--Advance Treatment covers all aspects of advanced treatments and helps operators prepare for levels three and four of the operator certification examinations. In addition to learning the basics of advanced treatments operators will gain a thorough understanding of critical aspects of membranes, industrial wastes and pretreatment, chemical treatment, advanced activated sludge, and water reuse. After learning from real-life examples, users can apply the material they learn to situations they encounter in their day-to-day work. Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals III- Advanced Treatment covers: -Robust coverage of Wastewater Treatment Operator exam topics and ABC Need-to-Know Criteria -Peer reviewed -1000+ practice questions to test your knowledge at the end of each chapter -In-depth chapter summaries to reinforce key concepts -Extensive chapter exercises and solution sets to enhance your math skills This self-study manual aligns with updated Need-to-Know Criteria from the Association of Boards of Certification (ABC) and is based on WEFs extensive existing resource collection, including Operation of Water Resource Recovery Facil
The effectiveness of stormwater management programs depends largely on how well and how safely stormwater control measures (SCMs) perform over time. The importance of maintenance and the significant numbers of SCMs have created the need for guidance on how stormwater programs must adapt to address evolving SCM design and maintenance requirements, climate change and resilience, and integration of asset management concepts to reduce long-term program costs. This manual meets that need with best practices for maintenance programs, as well as case studies to show how a variety of utilities have implemented them. The material covered will be of particular use to designers of SCMs, utility managers, and O&M staff.
