Water Purification is a comprehensive guide to turning polluted water into safe drinking water, with practical insights for engineers and plant operators.
Drawing on the science of physical, chemical, and biological water characteristics, the book explains core purification steps such as sedimentation, coagulation, filtration, and disinfection. It covers both slow and rapid sand filtration, and discusses how different water sources shape treatment choices, along with the design and operation of filter plants.
- Understand how water impurities affect treatment methods
- Learn step-by-step purification processes and equipment considerations
- Explore the operation, layout, and economics of filtration systems
- Review appendices on hydraulics and flow in filter plants for practical reference
Ideal for students, engineers, and plant operators seeking a solid, usable foundation in water purification.
