Individual Wastewater Treatment Technologies

Abstract

Wastewater generated in settlements without sewerage must be treated in order to relieve the burden on the receiving water body and to avoid risks to public health. The design methodology of individual wastewater treatment and the contexts related to the operation have been known for a long time; however, the application is not widespread. The aim of the textbook entitled Individual Wastewater Treatment Technologies is to acquaint the reader with the issue of individual wastewater treatment and its specialties. General wastewater treatment concepts and operations, the legal background of decentralised wastewater treatment is presented, followed by a wide range of technologies from a wide and colourful offer of individual wastewater treatment units. An insight into the numerical modelling is also presented. We hope that not only students but also practitioners from design and operation engineers, those interested in wastewater treatment could find useful information.
