This title presents the latest methods for nutrient removal from wastewater. This Water Environment Federation resource provides comprehensive information on biological and chemical methods for nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater. "Nutrient Removal" covers environmental and regulatory issues and provides an integrated approach for combined nitrogen and phosphorus removal, including details on ammonia and dewatering liquors treatment. Natural treatment systems are also discussed in this definitive guide. "Nutrient Removal" covers: Nutrients and their effects on the environment; Regulation of nutrients in the effluents of wastewater treatment plants; Overview of the nutrient removal processes; Principles of biological nitrogen removal Nitrification; Nitrogen removal processes, configuration, and process-sizing criteria for combined nitrification and denitrification processes; Chemical and biological phosphorus removal; Sidestream nitrogen removal; Structured process models for nutrient removal; Troubleshooting for full-scale nutrient removal facilities; and, Aquatic natural treatment systems.

Author Biography
Water Environment Federation Technical Practice Committee (formerly the Committee on Sewage and Industrial Wastes Practice of the Federation of Sewage and Industrial Wastes Associations) was created by the Federation Board of Control on October 11, 1941. The primary function of the Committee is to originate and produce, through appropriate subcommittees, special publications dealing with technical aspects of the broad interests of the Federation. These publications are intended to provide background information through a review of technical practices and detailed procedures that research and experience have shown to be functional and practical.
