Preface to Third Edition
The growing interest in water and wastewater treatment
plant operations and their main products (potable water and
cleaned used water), ongoing advancements in treatment
techniques and innovations such as energy conservation
measures, and the unprecedented reception of the first and
second editions of this book have called for a new edition.
After publication of the previous editions, many reviewers
sent me their comments. I am grateful for their constructive
criticism and valuable suggestions and have incorporated
them in this new edition. For example, this edition includes
the addition of
• Updates on current issues facing the water and
wastewater treatment industries
• 200 additional math operations with solutions
• A new chapter on package units
• Expanded discussion of oxidation ditches
• Expanded discussion of biological nutrient removal
processes
• Discussion of water quality reports
• New chapter on energy conservation measures with
applicable case studies
• Discussion of membrane bioreactors
• Discussion of variable frequency controls
• Discussion of PID control systems
• Expanded discussion of ultraviolet disinfection
In addition to assisting utility administrators, managers,
and directors; water and wastewater plant managers; plant
operators; and maintenance operators manage or operate
their treatment works in a successful and compliant manner,
this new edition (as was the purpose of the other editions)
is designed to aid and assist all personnel preparing for all
levels of operator licensure.
