A sampling plan is devised for monitoring air pollution emissions from a typical municipal wastewater treatment plant. (Author/BB)

This is the third, concluding, part of an article on the Greater Chicago Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP). It focuses on the hydrologic and hydraulic studies which controlled the sizing of tunnels, storage reservoirs and pumping stations, and on the resulting pumping station and reservoir. (BB)

Modern thermal solid waste processing systems are becoming more complex, incorporating features that require instrumentation and control systems to a degree greater than that previously required just for proper combustion control. With the advent of complex, sophisticated, thermal processing systems, TV monitoring and computer control should…

The test procedures used to evaluate the suitability of landfilled materials of varying stability and to determine the leachate from such materials are reviewed. A process for stabilizing a mixture of sulfur dioxide sludge, fly ash, and bottom ash with lime and other additives for deposition in landfills is detailed. (BT)

This booklet is for wastewater treatment plant operators who find it difficult to follow the detailed discussions and procedures found in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater." It is intended to be used with "Standard Methods" available for reference. Included in this publication are chapters on…

The early history of disinfection and sterilization, physical methods, electron irradiation, sonic and supersonic waves, alpha, beta, gamma, cathode, x-rays, and ultraviolet radiation, and heating and freezing are covered. (BB)

A project designed to convert solid waste to energy is explained in this paper. In April, 1972, an investor-owned utility began to burn municipal solid waste as fuel for the direct production of electric power. This unique venture was a cooperative effort between the City of St. Louis, Missouri, and the Union Electric Company, with financial…

Recent studies have focused attention on the fact that residents of inner-city neighborhoods are subject to greater amounts of pollutants than are other neighborhoods of large cities. In this study, the premise is set forth and investigated at the metropolitan scale, seeking to discover differences of impact between the center city and its…

This is a report on a water treatment conference. Drinking water contaminant removal and dual (potable and nonpotable) water supply are spotlighted. (BB)

This book is intended to be a reference or textbook on the operation of wastewater treatment plants. The book contains thirty-one chapters and three appendices and includes the description, requirements, and latest techniques of conventional unit process operation, as well as the symptoms and corrective measures regarding process problems. Process…

This manual presents a procedure for the design of land treatment systems. Slow rate, rapid infiltration, and overland flow processes for the treatment of municipal wastewaters are given emphasis. The basic unit operations and unit processes are discussed in detail, and the design concepts and criteria are presented. The manual includes design…

Domestic black and gray shipboard wastewaters when processed with tubular noncellulosic ultrafiltration membranes effectively meet marine discharge requirements. (Author/BB)

This manual for industrial wastewater monitoring covers the philosophy of monitoring needs, planning, sampling, measuring, and analysis. Sufficient detail is given for those who wish to explore more deeply some of the practical and theoretical aspects of any of the phases of a monitoring program. A logical procedure is suggested and direction…
