Odors in Wastewater Treatment (Measurement, Modelling and Control)

Wastewater treatment works have the potential to generate unpleasant odors, which can result in annoyance and consequently have a detrimental effect on a local population. As a result odor control and prevention has become an important consideration both in the management of existing facilities and in the design and gaining of planning consent for new works. Odours in Wastewater Treatment provides readers with a detailed discuss on the basic principles involved in the formation of volatile compounds in wastewater treatment, gives an accounts of recent developments in the sampling and measurement of odours, offers practical examples in the prediction and dispersion of odorous emissions and presents an overview of the technologies currently used to contain and treat odorous compounds.
