Copublished by WEF Press and ASCE Sponsored by the Water Environment Federation and the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers Sustainability and Energy Management for Water Resource Recovery Facilities, WEF MOP 38 / ASCE MOP 137, describes the best practices for evaluating and improving the energy management and sustainability of wastewater treatment plants. Global climate change, volatile energy prices, and other potential forces of change require designers to plan and design water resource recovery facilities (WRRF) that are sustainable—less costly to operate and maintain over a plant’s full life cycle and more resilient to near- and long-term change. This Manual of Practice begins with an assessment of commonly used sustainability frameworks. It then offers guidance on the practical application of sustainability concepts at key decisions points during the planning, preliminary design, final design, construction, and operational phases of WRRF capital projects. The volume discusses strategies, tools, and references that are globally applicable and helps in planning projects that meet today’s expectations for WRRFs: significantly reduced energy consumption, modern automated equipment with less downtime, lower operation and maintenance costs, resiliency to weather extremes, lower chemical inputs, and marketable products through resource recovery. WEF MOP 38 / ASCE MOP 137 is a companion volume to Design of Water Resource Recovery Facilities, Sixth Edition, and will be of interest to environmental and wastewater engineers, facility managers, and others working on modern wastewater treatment plants.

These standards offer guidelines that apply to the physical security of facilities with potable water source, treatment, and distribution systems, as well as with wastewater collection and treatment systems and stormwater systems. Taken together, these standards can provide direction for utilities as they design or retrofit their infrastructure to ensure the physical security of water and wastewater/stormwater systems. Recommendations include the use of physical and electronic security measures to protect against various design-basis threats that could otherwise defeat the mission of the utility. Other considerations for utilities applying specific security technologies and methods is included. Additional physical security for water and wastewater/stormwater facilities is beneficial for continuity of business, protection of water quality, provision of sufficient water quantity, ensuring public confidence, and protection of public health and safety. These new standard guidelines, based on draft guidelines prepared by ASCE and the American Water Works Association, with technical input from the Water Environment Federation, will be valuable to anyone involved with the physical security of water, wastewater, or stormwater utilities.

Advances in Water and Wastewater Treatment provides state-of-the-art information on the application of innovative technologies for water and wastewater treatment with an emphasis on the scientific principles for pollutant or pathogen removal. Described in detail are the practice and principles of wastewater treatment on topics such as: global warming, sustainable development, nutrient removal, bioplastics production, biosolid digestion and composting, pathogen reduction, metal leaching, secondary clarifiers, surface and subsurface constructed wetland, and wastewater reclamation. Topics include: watershed management, atrazine control, radon removal, pathogen removal, disinfection technologies, control of disinfection by-products, and management of water treatment plant residuals. Environmental engineers and scientists involved in the practice of environmental engineering will benefit from the basic principles to innovation technologies application.

The book on Physico-Chemical Treatment of Wastewater and Resource Recovery provides an efficient and low-cost solution for remediation of wastewater. This book focuses on physico-chemical treatment via advanced oxidation process, adsorption, its management and recovery of valuable chemicals. It discusses treatment and recovery process for the range of pollutants including BTX, PCB, PCDDs, proteins, phenols, antibiotics, complex organic compounds and metals. The occurrence of persistent pollutants poses deleterious effects on human and environmental health. Simple solutions for recovery of valuable chemicals and water during physico-chemical treatment of wastewater are discussed extensively. This book provides necessary knowledge and experimental studies on emerging physico-chemical processes for reducing water pollution and resource recovery.
