  ISBN :978-1-25-985936-6
  Operation of Water Resource Recovery Facilities, MOP 11, Seventh Edition delivers state-of-the-art coverage of the operation, management, and maintenance of water resource recovery facilities. Now conveniently presented in one volume, this authoritative resource reflects the 21st Century facility's role in recovering valuable resources, including water, nutrients, and energy, and also features updated information on activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, biological nutrient removal, chemical handling, dissolved air flotation, fixed-film processes, maintenance, odor management, and safety and security. Changes can be found throughout to keep pace with technological advances, including instrumentation and control systems and reporting requirements. Operation of Water Resource Recovery Facilities represents the most complete and up-to-date reference available to the wastewater treatment industry.

Fact Sheets

All fact sheets were produced by members of the Industrial Wastewater Community and are available for download.

• Food & Beverage Wastewater: Anaerobic Treatment and Polishing/Reuse Options
  A guidance document for professionals in the food and beverage industry to provide information on anaerobic wastewater treatment and potential downstream polishing.

• Produced Water: Oil and Gas Terminology Glossary
  Produced water treatment is typically considered an upstream oil and gas (O&G) process. The treatment steps and many terms are unique to this process but common in the industry. This fact sheet has been produced as a single reference primer that provides a broad overview of definitions, treatments, and use related to produced water.
  
  
• Pulp and Paper: Temperature Modeling in Large Basins
  60+% of wastewater produced by the Pulp & Paper industry is treated using large basins. Temperature impacts performance.  This factsheet presents two existing basin thermal models, compares the strengths and weaknesses of both and provide guidance for selection depending on project specifics.
