Product Description
Expert help for designing and managing a biosolids program So notoriously complex and occasionally controversial that it has paradoxically reduced biosolids applications in some locales, CFR Part 503 becomes understandable, manageable, and doable with this expert guide from experienced environmental engineer Michael J. McFarland, diplomate of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and certified Grade IV wastewater and water treatment operator. If you have interest in or responsibility for fulfilling the intent of Part 503, putting biosolids and organic residues to beneficial use and decreasing the burden on landfills, Biosolids Engineering can help you: *Control the factors in wastewater and biosolids processing that affect usability *Apply soil chemistry and physics to finding safe and appropriate uses for biosolids *Design needed hydraulic, storage, and transport systems *Ensure pathogen and vector attraction reduction *Make biosolids engineering a team effort with agricultural specialists, mining engineers, water treatment officials, and highway, transportation, and timber specialists *Apply sampling and analysis protocols for effectiveness and safety *Increase public awareness of the safety and value of biosolids applications |

Search for a good Biosolids Text ends here by Dharmin Desai (Utah, USA)  5 Stars
November 17, 2005
Biosolids management is a research area fairly unknown for the majority of the public and hence it is really difficult to find a good Biosolids text (if any is hardly present!). Considering this, the Author of the book has done an excellent job. The book starts with an in-depth discussions of all the federal regulations/requirements concerning biosolids. In fact, it has heavily borrowed from the EPA biosolids manual -CFR Part 503 rule. Also, all the current biosolids management practices (including incineration/land filling) have been discussed in detail. In addition, all the treatment process in a wastewater treatment plant are given in depth analysis. This book can act as an operators guide for wastewater treatment operators and also a good text for a student interested in biosolids research.
