Building on this knowledge, the reader will learn how different treatment processes work, how they can be optimized, and the most efficient method for selecting candidate treatment processes. Utilizing the most up-to-date examples from recent work at one of the leading environmental and science consulting firms, this book also illustrates approaches to solve various environmental quality problems and the step-by-step design of facilities. * Practical applications to assist with the selection of appropriate treatment technology for target pollutants. * Includes case studies based on current work by experts in waste treatment, disposal, management, environmental law and data management. * Provides glossary and table of acronyms for easy reference.
