Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the science and engineering behind sewage purification, a crucial concern for growing urban populations in the early 20th century. The author, a civil engineer, examines the process from a practical standpoint, explaining how the action of bacteria can be harnessed to transform foul sewage into safe effluent. The book explores various methods for sewage treatment, including dilution, sewage farming, intermittent sand filtration, the intermittent contact system, and percolation through deep beds. The author delves into the hydraulics of these systems, highlighting the importance of understanding how sewage flows through different structures. He also discusses the crucial role of bacteria in the purification process, emphasizing the need for both anaerobic and aerobic conditions to effectively break down organic matter. The book presents valuable information on the design and operation of sewage purification works, including detailed data on sand filtration and the use of contact beds. This book offers a unique blend of scientific knowledge and practical engineering principles, providing a comprehensive and insightful overview of sewage purification in the early 20th century.
