Publisher's Synopsis
The ninth in this long established and highly successful series of conferences returned to Prague and proved yet again capable of attracting many of the world?s leading experts (in this case from over forty countries) in wastewater treatment plant design and operation to discuss the state of the art. One of the great strengths of these conferences is the way they bring together research and practice: delegates included operators, managers, planners, plant designers, equipment providers, instrumentation and control specialists, engineers and research scientists. From the high quality programme 37 articles have been selected for these proceedings.Featured topics include: sludge management; aeration and mixing; nutrient removal; modelling; settling and separation; costs and economics; as well as case studies and operational experiences. For anyone involved or interested in the planning, design, construction, operation or management of large wastewater treatment plants these proceedings will prove an unrivalled source of information and insight.
