In this review I just want to inform the difference between the international edition and the professional edition.The international edition has 20 chapters and the professional edition has 28 chapters. The chapters that are not covered in the international edition are:- Intake structures- Wells- Chemical handling and storage- Removal of specific constituents- Drinking water plant process selection and Integration- Storage and distribution systems- Sanitary Sewer design- Clean water plant process selection and integrationI thought that this was important information in case that someone is thinking in buy one edition or the other. I noticed that until I bought the international edition.
I use the book as a reference, not a text. It seems to contain the information that I need. For example, I recently needed a better understanding of the shape and general design of launders. The subject was adequately covered. However, I did not find a good discussion of the content (chemical and biological) of wastewater - although there is extensive discussion of treatment processes applicable to things that might be in wastewater.
Delivered on time, it was taken good care so, no issues. The book itself is really good. There are lots of problems and the explanations thought the chapters are simple and straight forward with examples for every subject.
This is the book to get if your are mystified by sometimes hard to follow MWH and/or Metcalf books so common for undergrad/grad courses. Best out there for water and waste water engineering; if your Professor has chosen this book for class you are in good hands!For Professionals it is a great reference/reminder text. What it lacks in some "theory" it more than makes up for with practical application and input from fellow professionals.A MUST.
Great book, easy to follow. I would recommend this book if you are an environmental engineer working on water and waste water treatment.
Because the book is like new.I work in this area of engineering, and I think this book is very usefull. I recommend it.
i haven't had a chance to read the book beacuse you cannot read it on kindle 8 reader for the CPU. That sucks ass. But its all good. Just wanted to proof read the book before I actually brought it.
Great book, lots of valuable information, for all professionals and starters in the water treatment, explains important technics for different processes used in water treatment
