An Applied Guide to Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Design
An Applied Guide to Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Design is ideal for chemical, civil and environmental engineering students, graduates, and early career water engineers as well as more experienced practitioners who are transferring into the water sector. It brings together the design of process, wastewater, clean water, industrial effluent and sludge treatment plants, looking at the different treatment objectives within each sub-sector, selection and design of physical, chemical and biological treatment processes, and the professional hydraulic design methodologies.
This book will show you how to carry out the key steps in the process design of all kinds of water and effluent treatment plants. It provides an essential refresher on the relevant underlying principles of engineering science, fluid mechanics, water chemistry and biology, together with a thorough description of the heuristics and rules of thumb commonly used by experienced practitioners. The water treatment plant designer will also find specific advice on plant layout, aesthetics, economic considerations and related issues such as odor control.
The information contained in this book is usually provided on the job by mentors so it will remain a vital resource throughout your career.
Explains how to design water and effluent treatment plants that really work
Accessible introduction to, and overview of, the area that is written from a process engineering perspective
Covers new treatment technologies and the whole process, from treatment plant design, to commissioning

This is the perfect book for someone who was just recently graduated from University or new into the water sector. The book has a strong emphasis on process plant design whilst also providing the fundamental theory and engineering science behind water and effluent treatment processes and technologies. The book provides plenty of inside knowledge on plant design which you cannot find anywhere else!
I would also highly recommend purchasing the “Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design” and the “Process Plant Layout, second Edition” by this author. All three of these books have significantly aided me during my final years of university and the transition from academia to a graduate process engineer.

The description claims that 'this book will show you how to carry out the key steps in the process design of all kinds of water and effluent treatment plants.', and that is exactly what it does. The information is presented clearly and concisely and is easy to follow for students, however the relevance to industry and real life applications is never lost and this allows the book to remain relevant for practitioners too.
Sean Moran has organised the book to allow any level to gain a comprehensive understanding of the design of individual unit operations, hydraulic calculations and relevant ancillary systems so whether you work in the Water Industry, you're studying a relevant degree, or you're just interested in the topic, this book contains everything you need to know to get started.
