Applications — Integrated Process Design and Operation of Sewers

It is not possible and not a purpose of this text to deal with a great number of specific details of the chemical and microbial processes that are relevant for the different types of collection systems that exist. The number of types and corresponding variability are legion, determined by tradition and site-specific demands. The entire text is, therefore, developed to focus on the general understanding of in-sewer chemical and microbial processes, the conditions for them to proceed and the process engineering of the urban wastewater system. The process interactions between the sewer network and the other parts of the urban wastewater system, in particular, the treatment plant, are important in this respect. 

With knowledge and tools for prediction of the in-sewer processes as the basis, the practitioner is encouraged to integrate these and their relevant corresponding impacts in the management of different types of sewer networks. Case studies selected for this chapter should provide guidance in this respect. Tools in terms of empirical and conceptual models that have been described in the previous chapters are considered useful. 

In addition to engineering students, planners, engineers and regulatory officials who are dealing with design, operation and management of sewer systems may find such applications of in-sewer processes beneficial.
