Features: This book can serve as a training manual for operational and management personnel in wastewater biological treatment plants and a guide for their work. It is also suitable for technicians in design institutes and environmental protection companies involved in environmental science and engineering, as well as for researchers, producers, and students in relevant fields. The key to the operation and management of wastewater biological treatment plants lies in achieving long-term stable compliance while minimizing operational costs. When abnormal conditions arise during operation, necessary countermeasures should be taken to restore normalcy as quickly as possible. For this purpose, operational and management personnel should learn the essential basic knowledge of wastewater biological treatment and master daily operational management methods, taking effective measures to address abnormal situations in the treatment system. The book consists of two parts. The first part briefly introduces fundamental knowledge such as the properties of wastewater, the principles of wastewater biological treatment, common microbial communities in wastewater biological treatment, and the main environmental factors affecting wastewater biological treatment. The second part focuses on the cultivation and seeding, startup, observation and evaluation of operational conditions, system adjustment and control, daily operational management methods, abnormal issues and countermeasures, sludge treatment methods, and maintenance and management of major equipment for various treatment systems, including activated sludge, biofilm, anaerobic biological treatment, stabilization ponds, land treatment, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, and more.
