Examples from the recent work history of Woodard 8c Curran, as well as other environmental engineering and science consultants, are presented to illustrate both the approach used in solving various environmental quality problems and the step by step design of facilities to implement the solutions. It presents an explanation of the fundamental mechanisms by which pollutants become dissolved or suspended in water or air, then builds on this knowledge to explain how different treatment processes work, how they can be optimized and how one would go about efficiently selecting candidate treatment processes. This book has been developed with the intention of providing an updated primary reference for environmental managers working in industry, environmental engineering consultants, graduate students in environmental engineering, and government agency employees concerned with wastes from industries. He is an engineer, a mentor, an educator, a peer, and a friend. His boundless enthusiasm and expertise in waste treatment practices are an inspiration to all. Without Frank's tireless dedication to the first edition, this second edition would not be possible. Working together to grow libraries in developing countries Dedication To Franklin E.
