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. … More >>
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is very applicable to any environmental engineer interested in biosolid engineering. Very applicable to current EPA standards and great field reference.
