Abstract

The manual is an update and revision of the original 1975 edition. Given the experience of the past 18 years, the focus of this edition is directed to those biological/mechanical systems that have found widespread use for nitrification and nitrogen removal. The primary audience is the designer of small to medium sized facilities, although the application of the manual is not limited to any range of plant sizes. The manual focuses on the major process and design aspects considered in the development of an effective design. The manual is organized to help the designer in the planning stages of a facility, highlighting important process and operation and maintenance considerations.
