Disposal and Purification of Factory Wastes or Manufacturing Sewage offers practical methods from years of state research to clean industrial effluent and protect water quality.
This edition summarizes findings from tannery, paper mill, dye, and other factory wastes, with real-world results and tested treatment trains.
What you’ll gain from this book:
- An overview of challenges that make industrial waste harder to treat than domestic sewage, and how researchers approached them.
- Concrete treatment approaches, from sedimentation and chemical precipitation to filtration and biological nitrification.
- Case studies showing how processes like lime clarification, sand filtration, coke or cinder strainers, and trickling filters performed in real plants.
- Insights into combining multiple steps (screening, sedimentation, chemical precipitation, and filtration) to remove organics and color from various waste streams.
What you’ll experience:
- Step-by-step descriptions of treatment trains used at tanneries and paper mills, including how flow rates and temperatures affected results.
- Practical notes on improving nitrification, managing solids, and handling highly colored or fatty wastes.
- Observations on the practicality and limitations of large-scale purification in factories, including equipment choices and operation strategies.
Ideal for readers who work in environmental engineering, industrial operations, or public health, and for students seeking real-world wastewater treatment examples.
