Product Description
This volume is the only resource that describes and explains in simple, non-mathematical terms the unit processes used to treat both drinking water and wastewater. Designed to meet the information needs of professionals without an engineering background, the text presents each unit process, states what function(s) it performs, illustrates what equipment it uses, and explains what its role is in the process of purifying or cleaning water. In addition, the book places water treatment technologies in the context of overall plant operation. In addition, it explains related topics such as plant management and environmental regulations.

Good introductory material by Dirk J. Willard (Chicago, IL)

I found this text useful as a mnemonic, a memory tool. There are useful explanations of conventional tools for treating wastewater and water. You won't find many useful graphics but it is a book for the non-professionals. Personally, I find such textbooks useful because of the varied business of the design engineer. One year you're working steel mills next year chemical plants, a few years later refineries. I know this review is brief but I hope it was useful. I recommend this book for what it is: a how-does-it-work text.

Very good book by Bernadette C. Waterman Services (Sofia, Bulgaria)

Very good book. I am not an engineer, but work in water treatment business. This book gave me a propper understanding of the water treatment process. Now when our engineers talk about water treatment I understand everything. It is a first book that everyone should read before they try more difficult and professional literature.
