Elsevier Modular Treatment Approach for Drinking Water and Wastewater (.NET Developers Series)

Modular Treatment Approach for Drinking Water and Wastewater explores the most up-to-date studies in the field of treating water. More specifically, this book examines the need for this approach and identifies the techniques needed to provide global clean water. Through three contributed sections, this comprehensive resource presents the new approach of tackling the demand for a high quality, economic and green water treatment system. This modular strategy allows for a customized retrofit solution to constantly changing parameters that are dependent on current demand and requirements. The book summarizes the principles of modular design, as well as current developments and perspectives. Chapters include global case studies, flow diagrams and charts to provide readers with the tools they need to implement these techniques in their own work. As such, this book is a must have for researchers, students and professors working in water and wastewater. Review A contributed reference that presents a new approach for tackling the increasing demand for high-quality, economic and green water treatments From the Back Cover Modular Treatment Approach for Drinking Water and Wastewater explores the most up-to-date studies in the field of treating water. More specifically, this book examines the need for this modular treatment approach and identifies the techniques to provide clean water worldwide. Through three contributed sections, this book presents the new approach of tackling the demand for a high quality, economic, and green water treatment system. This modular strategy, presented in the book, allows for a customized retrofit solution to constantly changing parameters of the urban water, that is to be treated. The advanced treatment modules can be added or removed, depending on the current demand and requirements. Modular Treatment Approach for Drinking Water and Wastewater summarizes the principles of modular design, as well as the current developments and perspectives regarding the usage of modular approach in urban water treatment. The chapters include global case studies, flow diagrams and charts to provide the reader with the tools they need to implement these techniques in their own work. As such, this book is a must have for Researchers, students and professors working in water and wastewater. About the Author Dr. S. K. Brar is Professor in Environmental Engineering. She holds Master’s Degrees in Organic Chemistry and in Technology in Environmental Sciences and Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Environmental Biotechnology. Her research interests lie in bioprocesses and the valorization of residues (agricultural; agro-industrial; industrial and municipal) into high value-bioproducts, such as enzymes, organic acids, platform chemicals, biocontrol agents, biopesticides, butanol and biohydrogen. She is also interested in the fate of emerging contaminants during value-addition of wastewater and wastewater sludge in turn finding suitable biological detoxification technologies. In 2014, Dr. S. K. Brar was elected as a member of The College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada in recognition for outstanding performance in her field of environmental biotechnology. She has more than 300 research publications, including: five books, 56 chapters, 230 original research papers, 60 research communications in conferences and has registered 2 patents to her credit. Pratik Kumar is a PhD candidate in water science at Institut national de la recherche scientifique - Eau Terre Environnement, Québec, Canada. He holds a Bachelor of Technology degree in Civil Engineering (Gold medal) and a Master`s degree in Environmental Engineering and Management (Institute Silver medal). His research interest mainly lie in wastewater and drinking water treatment. His specific research area includes surface adsorption/biodegradation studies for various drinking water pollutants
