This book
presents technical information and materials concerning the engineering of
decentralized infrastructure to achieve effective wastewater treatment while
also minimizing resource consumption and providing a source of reclaimed water,
nutrients and organic matter. The approaches, technologies and systems
described are targeted for green building and sustainable infrastructure across
the United States and similar industrialized nations, but they are also applicable
to water and sanitation projects in developing regions around the world. Today,
decentralized infrastructure can be used to sustainably serve houses, buildings
and developments with water use and wastewater flows of 100 to 100,000 gal/d or
more.
The book
provides in-depth engineering coverage of the subject in a narrative and slide
format specifically designed for classroom lectures or facilitated self-study.
Key topics are covered including: engineering to satisfy project goals and
requirements including sustainability, contemporary water use and wastewater
generation and methods to achieve water use efficiency and source separation,
alternative methods of wastewater collection and conveyance, and treatment and
reuse operations including tank-based (e.g., septic tanks, aerobic treatment
units, porous media biofilters, membrane bioreactors), wetland-based (e.g.,
free water surface and vegetated subsurface bed wetlands), and land-based unit
operations (e.g., subsurface soil infiltration, shallow drip dispersal).
Approaches and technologies are also presented that can achieve nutrient
reduction and resource recovery in some cases or pathogen destruction to enable
a particular discharge or reuse plan. The book also describes requirements and
methods for effective management of the process solids, sludges and residuals
that can be generated by various approaches, technologies, and systems. The
book contains over 300 figures and illustrations of technologies and systems
and over 150 tables of design and performance data. There are also more than
200 questions and problems relevant to the topics covered including example
problems that have solutions presented to illustrate engineering concepts and
calculations.
