What’s New in the Third Edition:
Prepares operators for licensure exams
Provides additional math problems and solutions to better prepare users for certification exams
Updates all chapters to reflect the developments in the field
Enables users to properly operate water and wastewater plants and suggests troubleshooting procedures for returning a plant to optimum operation levels
A complete compilation of water science, treatment information, process control procedures, problem-solving techniques, safety and health information, and administrative and technological trends, this text serves as a resource for professionals working in water and wastewater operations and operators preparing for wastewater licensure exams. It can also be used as a supplemental textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying environmental science, water science, and environmental engineering.
Frank R. Spellman is a retired U.S. Naval Officer with 26 years of active duty, a retired environmental safety & health manager for a large wastewater sanitation district in Virginia, and retired assistant professor of environmental health at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. The author/co-author of 87 books, Spellman consults on environmental matters with the US Department of Justice, and various law firms and environmental entities around the globe. Spellman holds a BA in Public Administration, BS in Business Management, MBA, and MS/PhD in Environmental Engineering.
