Filamentous bulking and foaming are the most frequent operational problems in activated sludge plants. This recent book provides a comprehensive, concise guide to the microbiological and technical aspects of bulking and foaming control. The result of over 25 years of research, the book stresses practical control measures based on kinetic and metabolic selection theories, as well as on case... Read more
