Anaerobic Waste-Wastewater Treatment and Biogas Plants : A Practical Handbook

Omtale

The Second Edition of Anaerobic Waste-Wastewater Treatment and Biogas Plants examines anaerobic processes for managing municipal and industrial solid, semi-solid, and liquid residues. This book explains the principles, configurations, performance capabilities, and operational requirements of anaerobic systems, offering practical insights for both specialists and non-specialists. It incorporates the latest advancements in research, technology, and applications, addressing treatment of emerging pollutants, small-scale and low temperature systems, innovative technologies and the role of digitization, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in system design, operation and process control. With a focus on practical application, this edition ensures a holistic understanding of anaerobic processes for biogas production and waste management. Features:Incorporates new chapters on emerging pollutants, such as microplastics and PFAS, and their treatment in anaerobic systems. Explores small-scale applications, including low-temperature operations through global case studies. Highlights the application of cutting-edge technologies like IoT, AI, and machine learning in the design and operation of anaerobic systems. Provides practical guidance on pre-treatment, post-treatment, and co-product management, including biogas recovery and digestate reuse. This book is intended for students, researchers, industry professionals, practitioners and plant operators seeking to deepen their knowledge of anaerobic treatment systems and their practical applications.
