Maximizing total nitrogen removal from onsite-generated wastewater.This text covers the many aspects of onsite wastewater treatment systems: Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Bennette D. Burks and Mary Margaret Minnis (1994) Twelve stand-alone chapters make up this book: 1. Introduction to Onsite Wastewater Treatment, 2. Water and Wastewater Characteristics, 3. Microbiology microbiology: see biology. microbiology Scientific study of microorganisms, a diverse group of simple life-forms including protozoans, algae, molds, bacteria, and viruses. , 4. Soil and Site Evaluations, 5. Hydraulics hydraulics, branch of engineering concerned mainly with moving liquids. The term is applied commonly to the study of the mechanical properties of water, other liquids, and even gases when the effects of compressibility are small. , 6. Wastewater Treatment Theory, 7. Onsite Wastewater Treatment Alternatives, 8. Design of an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, 9. Installation of an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, 10. Operation and Maintenance, 11. Advanced Wastewater Treatment Techniques, and 12. Considerations for Onsite System Use. Together, these articles provide a comprehensive account of current theories and practices related to septic septic /sep·tic/ (sep´tik) pertaining to sepsis. sep·tic adj. 1. Of, relating to, having the nature of, or affected by sepsis. 2. systems. This collection is intended to make connections between onsite wastewater treatment systems and municipal wastewater treatment systems, between manufacturers and consumers, between consumers and regulators, between regulators and manufacturers, and between academics and practitioners. 248 pages, softcover soft·cov·er adj.

Assurbanipal's library at Nineveh was cataloged on shelves of slate. The first known subject catalog was compiled by Callimachus at the Alexandrian Library in the 3d cent. B.C. #488. With in-depth chapters on wastewater, the following books are also good resources: Environmental Engineering (Fifth Edition) Edited by Joseph A. Salvato, Nelson L. Nemerow, and Franklin J. Agardy (2003) Upholding the reputation of its predecessors as the most trusted single-source handbook on the subject, this new edition of Environmental Engineering provides up-to-date, practical guidance on a full range of environmental issues, while delivering the critical material on the sanitation management and engineering methods used by today's leaders in the field. Environmental Engineering addresses the elements of environmental control in urban, suburban, and rural settings--including general design, construction, maintenance, and operation details related to plants and structures. It is an essential reference for environmental and civil engineers, environmental consultants and scientists, and regulatory and safety professionals in the public and private sectors, and it is a study reference for NEHA's R.E.H.S./R.S..
