This book is the international reference work in the field of water treatment. 
This new version, completely revised and updated, incorporates major 
technological advances of these last fifteen years : membrane separation, 
development of fixed and mixed cultures, sludge drying and incineration, 
and reduced sludge production. Without forgetting automation-related 
issues, such as control-regulation and maintenance assistance. A total of 
five chapters are dedicated to treatment channels. The aim was to offer 
engineers an everyday aid by summarising the basics in water 
treatment. The Water Treatment Handbook assembles the 
sum of Degrémont know-how to date and takes into 
account changes in new problem areas in water treatment
 such as conservation of fresh water resources, health 
safety and waste management.
