Wastewater Microbiology in Biological Treatment Systems and Process Management with MicrobiologicalAnalysis Handbook for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators

As it is known, the operation and control of wastewater treatment plants are mainly carried out by chemical analysis. This is a necessity, especially in chemical treatment systems. However, biological wastewater treatment offers an additional opportunity: “Microbiological Analysis”. This book explains in detail how to perform microscopic microbiological analyzes and how to interpret the results, supported by examples.

Especially in Europe and America, it is quite common to use microbiological analyzes as well as chemical analyzes in monitoring wastewater treatment systems. Because microbiological analyzes have a very important function in understanding functioning wastewater treatment systems and taking necessary precautions before the systems are disrupted. So what is the situation in our country? Unfortunately, the importance of this issue has not yet been understood to the extent necessary in our country.

This book shares data on the importance of implementing microscopes that 'collect dust' before being used in the laboratories of many businesses today. For this reason, it has been prepared in order to better understand the importance of interpreting the types of microorganisms present in wastewater and their relationships with each other in our country, as in the world, and to enable engineers and operators running the business to observe and understand biological wastewater treatment plants more closely from a biological perspective.

The first chapters of the book contain detailed information on bacteria in biological wastewater treatment systems, indicator microorganisms and their meaning in wastewater. In the following sections, problems encountered in biological wastewater treatment plants and clues in identifying these problems are given. Topics here: Motile Bacteria, Tetrads, Toxicity, Disorders in Floc Formation, Foam Formation, Swollen Sludge and Sedimentation Problems. In the last chapter, microbiological analyzes and process management (which must be the most important and striking part of the book), examples of wastewater problems of different industrial organizations, interpretation of microbiological analysis results and solution suggestions are presented accompanied by colorful pictures.

The work brings a brand new perspective in addition to the chemical analyzes that exist to date in the control of wastewater treatment processes.
