HANDBOOK OF
WATER AND WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATIONS BOOK BY FRANK R SPELLMAN

In Handbook
of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations , the intent of the author
is twofold. The rst intent is to consolidate the information and experience in
waterworks and wastewater treatment plant operations that have evolved as a
result of technological advances in the eld, and as a result of the concepts
and policies promulgated by the environmental laws and the subsequent
guidelines. The second intent is to discuss step-bystep procedures for the
correct and efcient operation of water and wastewater treatment systems.
Tertiary to this twofold intent is the proper preparation of operators to
qualify for state licensure and certication examinations.

With the
impetus given to water quality improvement through the Municipal Construction
Grants Program, the United States has undertaken an unprecedented building
program for new and improved water and wastewater treatment systems. To date,
much emphasis has been placed on training engineers to plan, design, and
construct treatment facilities. At present, many programs in various
engineering disciplines at many universities offer courses in water and
wastewater treatment plant design and operation.

This text is
not about the planning, designing, or construction of water and wastewater
treatment facilities. While these tasks are paramount to conception and
construction of needed facilities and needed infrastructure, many excellent
texts are available that cover these important areas. This text is not about
engineering at all. Instead, it is about operations and is designed for the
operator. We often forget the old axiom: someone must build it, but once built,
someone must operate it. It is the operation of it that concerns us here.
