Handbook of Environmental Odour Management

Complaints due to odour annoyance have become a major issue for wastewater treatment plant, waste management, landfill, intensive livestock and other industrial operators as the repeated release of unpleasant odorous emissions can constitute a nuisance to a local population. Traditionally, odour management has been maintained by the use of buffer distances between industry and receptors or by the installation of odour abatement systems that bo

Management of Change in Water Companies - Case Studies of Moving Fast from Bad to Good to Great

Management of Change in Water Companies tells real stories of real water companies that went through processes of change and achieved their best results ever in just a few years. It reflects the personal experience of the author from leading processes of change in five different water supply/sewage companies, between 10 and 120 years old and serving from 200,000 to 4,000,000 people.

Making Space for the River - Experiences with multifunctional river planning in the US and Europe

Making Space for the River examines the recent developments in river management that aim to ‘green’ rivers, including increasing river discharge for flood management, enhancing natural and landscape values, promoting local or regional economic development, urban regeneration. This offers opportunities and synergies, but also risks as it crosses established boundaries and touches on multiple stakeholder interests, which can easily c

Wastewater Treatment: Source Separation and Decentralisation

During the 1990s, several groups started working on source-separating technologies for wastewater treatment. Source separation was not new, but had long been propagated as a cheap and environmentally friendly technology for the poor. The novelty was the discussion whether source separation could be a sustainable, resource efficient alternative to existing end-of-pipe systems, even in urban areas and industrialized countries.

Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models

Mathematical modelling of activated sludge systems is used widely for plant design, optimisation, training, controller design and research. The quality of simulation studies varies depending on the project objectives, finances and expertise available. Consideration has to be given to the model accuracy and the amount of time required carrying out a simulation study to produce the desired accuracy. Inconsistent approaches and insufficient docum
