Product Description
Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse, 4/e is a thorough update of McGraw-Hill's authoritative book on wastewater treatment. No environmental engineering professional or civil or and environmental engineering major should be without a copy of this book- tt describes the technological and regulatory changes that have occurred over the last ten years in this discipline, including: improved techniques for the characterization of wastewaters; improved fundamental understanding of many of the existing unit operations and processes used for wastewater treatment, especially those processes used for the biological removal of nutrients; greater implementation of several newer treatment technologies (e.g., UV disinfection, membrane filtration, and heat drying); greater concern for the long term health and environmental impacts of wastewater constituents; greater emphasis on advanced wastewater treatment and risk assessment for water reuse applications; changes in regulations and the development of new technologies for wastewater disinfection; and new regulations governing the treatment, reuse, and disposal of sludge (biosolids). Greater concern for infrastructure renewal including upgrading the design and performance of wastewater treatment plants.

This revision contains a strong focus on advanced wastewater treatment technologies and stresses the reuse aspects of wastewater and biosolids.

This book is well written and relatively easy to read. It has proved to be very helpful in my Biological Principles of Environmental Engineering Class.

Its very nice of you to e-mail me and ask for my comments, but I think it would be even nicer if I actually received the book. I am STILL waiting...

The Wastewater Bible by D. C. Dettrick (Darwin, Australia)

I have used Metcalfe and Eddy's Wastewater Engineering from 3rd to 4th editions, and cannot think of a more comprehensive resource for all aspects of wastewater engineering from process design through to odour management through to water and sludge recycling.

The use of SI system in 4th edition is great and I agree with other users, the Bible is getting so big that it needs a searchable PDF to find references quickly.

The process equations have been updated to COD type design from older BOD standards, and allow for ease of process selection, with a good overview of strengths and weaknesses of each treatment type for attached growth, suspended processes and even advanced oxidation processes for removing remaining inorganics.

If there could be said to be a weakness perhaps there is one for tropical water temperatures of 32-35 degrees celcius, but this is dependant on the literature and research community due to lack of hi-tech development in the tropics.

I have tags on pages that are much used to speed access, wouldn't recommend students carry it as it is very big.

Unlike some expensive env engineering texts, this one is worth every penny.

Very Good Reference by D. Buist (FL)

I found this book helpful in my preperation for the exam. It is a listed reference by NCEES, and will be useful for the exam and in practice.

Good book, poor support by Dainiel C. Rich (Puyallup, WA USA)

Metcalf and Eddy's Wastewater Engineering series is always good, but new editions of any book seem to have mistakes in the examples. The one that's bugging me ( it's the only one I've tried so far) is Example 4-10, concerning the time required to absorb a gas. The book gets a V value of 10; I get 1200. There's obviously something that needs explaining here, but I've been unable to get any help from either Metcalf & Eddy or McGraw Hill. My e-mails don't seem to get to anyone who can help, or they're being ignored.
It seems to be a good book, but if you have any questions you're on your own.
