EE looking for texts on wastewater/water treatment
(OP)
Hello,
I am an EE (PE) and I just got a new job which requires that I design controls and power distribution for wastewater treatment plants. I'm looking for a text(s) which will give me a grand overview of how the system works. I'd like to see a P&ID, typical equipment, flow calculations, odor control, etc. Does anyone have a good textbook that I can use as a guide/manual?
thanks,
EE

If you live in a metric country (like me) got the 4th ed of Wastewater Treatment, reuse, and disposal by George T or if you live in an imperial country (like USA) go for the 3ed edition as its all in feet and gallons per day.
For the fastest results Google it! Google Books have a range of text books to look through while not complete they will give you a good idea. Start at the smaller books (less than 500 pages) as the big ones get in depth fast. Look for ones with a 'field guide' or 'introduction to...'
Andy Shilton a New Zealand professor has some good e-books about wastewater especially lagoon plants. For water treatment my favourite is 'Introduction to Potable water treatment processes' by SA Parsons and BJ Jefferson.

You can have your local library obtain a copy through Worldcat if you want to preview the book before you buy it. Most libraries have an inter library loan process so you can obtain the book from a university.
