M37 Coagulation, Clarification, and Filtration in Water Treatment, 4th Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781647172329)

The purpose of this edition of the manual is focused on enabling operations staff at existing water treatment plants to get the most effective and optimized treatment reasonably possible from the systems and facilities they have at their disposal. This is not intended to be a design manual, but rather a tool for operators and engineers who support operators. The contents of this manual include an overview of coagulation chemistry (Chapter 1); an in-depth look at rapid mixing and flocculation (Chapter 2), clarification (Chapter 3), and filtration (Chapter 4); an overview of how coagulation is used for membrane systems (Chapter 5) and for non-drinking water applications (Chapter 6); guidance for bench- and jar-testing (Chapter 7), as well as pilot- and full-scale testing (Chapter 8); a review of typical instruments used in these processes (Chapter 9); and several relevant case studies (Chapter 10). The authors strongly recommend that readers take the time to read Chapter 1 in its entirety before beginning the rest of the manual, as a clear comprehension of coagulation chemistry is essential to understand or improve the operation of any other process discussed in this manual.
