AWWA-20563 Wastewater Microbiology: A Handbook for Operators
Microorganisms, such as bacteria and protozoa do the actual
breakdown and removal of nutrients and organic material in the wastewater. A
wastewater treatment plant operator's job is to control this biological
process. That is why wastewater operators need to understand basic microbiology, as well
as the types of microorganisms that are used in the treatment of sewage, and
how the microbes do their job in the wastewater treatment process.
Wastewater Microbiology: A Handbook for Operators,
provides the treatment information wastewater operators need to
know. Chapters cover wastewater treatment system overview, general microscopy,
bacteria, protozoa, metazoans, filamentous bacteria, and microbiology and
process control. Includes glossary of terms and CD-ROM with 85 color photographs of
microorganisms.
"A very user friendly text packed with understandable and useful information. A superb job." Jon Standridge, Chief Microbiologist, Lab Director, State of Wisconsin Laboratory of Hygiene
