BOOK
OVERVIEW

Primary Treatment at Wastewater Treatment Plants is a volume in the
Operator's Guide Series and focuses on that segment of conventional
wastewater treatment known as primary treatment. The author has
developed the general operational procedures described in the book from
his own experience as a plant operator, superintendent, and operations
consultant. These procedures should reinforce your understanding of the
standard operations at your plant and may even spark new ideas that
could prove beneficial to overall operations. For this reason, blank
pages are provided at the end of each chapter so that notes and ideas
can easily be added to this handy volume.
Topics addressed in the book include a discussion of the primary
treatment process, equipment, start-up and shutdown procedures, routine
operator duties, emergency response procedures, general safety rules,
and good housekeeping and odor control tips. The book also contains a
section featuring a variety of troubleshooting hints designed to help
you run a smooth operation. These techniques will prove useful in
identifying problems, and the procedures discussed will help you get the
operation up and running again. |
