Description
Book Synopsis: Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process, the first in a series on the microbiology of wastewater treatment, comprises the critical topics of cost-effective operation, permit compliance, process control, and troubleshooting in wastewater treatment plants. Avoiding the technical jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics that typically accompany such texts, Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process directly addresses plant operators and technicians, providing necessary information for understanding the microbiology and biological conditions that occur in the treatment process. Of special interest to wastewater treatment plant operators are the bacteria that degrade nitrogenous wastes–the nitrifying bacteria–and the bacteria that degrade carbonaceous wastes–the cBOD-removing bacteria. Both groups of bacteria need to be routinely monitored and operational conditions favorably adjusted to ensure desired nitrification. Each chapter in this groundbreaking study offers a better understanding of the importance of nitrification and denitrification and the bacteria involved in these crucial processes.
Chapters include:
- Organotrophs
- The Wastewater Nitrogen Cycle
- Nitrite Ion Accumulation
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Denitrifying Bacteria
- Gaseous End Products
- Free Molecular Oxygen
- The Occurrence of Denitrification

Details
Are you looking for a comprehensive guide to understanding the activated sludge process in wastewater treatment? Look no further than Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process. This groundbreaking book cuts through the technical jargon and equations to deliver the essential information you need as a wastewater treatment plant operator or technician. From cost-effective operation to permit compliance and troubleshooting, this book covers it all.
One of the key topics covered in this book is the crucial role of nitrifying bacteria in degrading nitrogenous wastes. By understanding their behavior and monitoring their activity, you can ensure optimal nitrification in your treatment plant. Additionally, this book explores the bacteria responsible for breaking down carbonaceous wastes, helping you maintain the desired carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (cBOD) removal.
With chapters focused on organotrophs, the wastewater nitrogen cycle, dissolved oxygen levels, and denitrifying bacteria, each section of this book offers invaluable insights into the microbiology and biological conditions that occur in the activated sludge process. By delving into topics such as nitrite ion accumulation, gaseous end products, and the occurrence of denitrification, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of these critical processes.
