Troubleshooting the Sequencing Batch Reactor : Wiley?Blackwell : 9780470050736 : 047005073X : 20 Aug 2010 : This richly illustrated, straightforward guide carries forth the legacy established by previous editions in the Wiley Wastewater Microbiology Series by focusing attention on the mixed gathering of organisms cohabitating within a sequencing batch reactor (SBR), and the key roles their biology plays in this wastewater processing tank's function. With a clear, user-friendly presentation of complex subject matter, Troubleshooting the Sequencing Batch Reactor first teaches plant operators how to differentiate the positive and expected organismal dynamics present in optimal SBR performance from the negative and damaging ones that create unhealthy sludge, and a stoppage in SBR operations. Next, Troubleshooting the Sequencing Batch Reactor delivers all the tools necessary to get an SBR back on track and running safely. Devoid of overwhelming scientific jargon, chemical equations, and ki
