1 Wastewater Biology: The Microlife, Third Edition (2017).
Water Environment Federation (WEF), WEF Press,
601 Wythe Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, USA, 445 pp.,
$95, softcover, ISBN: 978-1-57278-337-9
This book is about the unique microbial world encountered within a biological water
resource recovery facility (WRRF). With more than 12 chapters, the authors provide
extensive information regarding different types of microlife, measurement techniques, and the operating conditions that affect the microorganisms [1].
Wastewater Biology: The Microlife, Third Edition is an essential reference for wastewater
operators and engineers.
For more than 20 years, Wastewater Biology: The Microlife has served as an
essential resource for operator training and engineers. This new edition explores
the organisms that are considered the most important in the treatment of wastewater
and disease transmission and provides the readers with the knowledge needed to
regulate and control treatment processes properly.
The third edition offers detailed information on bacteria, protozoa, rotifers,
nematodes and other metazoans, filamentous organisms, pathogens, and parasites.
This new edition also includes a discussion of the microscope and photomicroscopy
as well as other tools, equipment, and procedures that are necessary for examining,
identifying, and enumerating these life forms.
Key features of the third new edition:
• New! Generously illustrated with more realistic visuals
• New! Now includes 13 color plates to assist in identifying the microlife
• New! Extensive discussion of the tools, equipment, and procedures necessary for
proper treatment
