Standards for Design of Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WEF Standard 8-23, or WEF 8) is intended to complement the evolving contemporary design references of today. WEF 8 provides ready access to concise critical design information and enables the reader to quickly locate additional information by following cited references. This standard is formatted to present key design criteria from a variety of design resources on tables and bulleted lists for easy access. WEF 8 is intended for seasoned design professionals familiar with wastewater resource recovery concepts, the design process, facility operations, and the regulatory basis of water pollution control. This reference will serve as a design tool to quickly identify the most relevant design criteria for the more commonly used water resource recovery operations and processes. It is recommended that the reader not rely solely on information presented in this standard as it is not inclusive. A thorough understanding of the principles behind these summary chapters is necessary for the correct application and use of all information contained in this reference.

Water resource recovery facility operators and maintenance staff are responsible for the protection of the environment and public health by ensuring excellent process control and equipment function. The processes and equipment used at these facilities are very complex and require continuous training. Standards for Operation of Water Resource Recovery Facilities, WEF 11, ensures that these critical personnel have the information they need to understand each process, make informed process control decisions, and recognize the basic requirements of preventive maintenance and troubleshooting. Coverage includes: - Liquid Treatment. - Solids Treatment - Process Performance Improvements - Fundamentals of Management - Permit Compliance and Wastewater Treatment Systems - Industrial Wastes and Pretreatment - Safety - Management Information Systems - Reports and Records - Process Instrumentation - Pumping of Wastewater and Sludge - Chemical Storage, Handling, and Feeding - Utilities - Maintenance - Odor Control - Integrated Process Management - Training - Outsourced Operations Services and Public/Private Partnership

This volume has been designed to serve as a natural resources engineering reference book as well as a supplemental textbook. This volume is part of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series, an incredible collection of methodologies that study the effects of resources and wastes in their three basic forms: gas, solid, and liquid. It complements two other books in the series including "Natural Resources and Control Processes" and "Advances in Natural Resources Management". Together they serve as a basis for advanced study or specialized investigation of the theory and analysis of various natural resources systems. This book covers many aspects of resources conservation, treatment, recycling, and education including agricultural, industrial, municipal and natural sources. The purpose of this book is to thoroughly prepare the reader for understanding the available resources, protection, treatment and control methods, such as bee protection, water reclamation, environmental conservation, biological and natural processes, endocrine disruptor removal, thermal pollution control, thermal energy reuse, lake restoration, industrial waste treatment, agricultural waste treatment, pest and vector control, and environmental engineering education. The chapters provide information on some of the most innovative and ground-breaking advances in environmental and natural resources engineering from a panel of esteemed experts.

This book will present the theory involved in wastewater treatment processes, define the important design parameters involved, and provide typical values of these parameters for ready reference; and also provide numerical applications and step-by-step calculation procedures in solved examples. These examples and solutions will help enhance the readers’ comprehension and deeper understanding of the basic concepts, and can be applied by plant designers to design various components of the treatment facilities. It will also examine the actual calculation steps in numerical examples, focusing on practical application of theory and principles into process and water treatment facility design.
