Description
Book SynopsisWater and Wastewater Conveyance: Pumping, Hydraulics, Piping, and Valves provides fundamental, basic information on the conveyance of water and wastewater. Written in straight-forward and easy-to-understand language for professionals and non-professionals alike, it provides the techniques to assist water and wastewater operators to better understand basic pump operations and applications, maintenance regimens, and troubleshooting procedures. Addressing a multitude of water quality issues, it provides an introduction to water hydraulics, piping systems, tubes, hoses, and ancillaries as well as valves, and the maintenance requirements of each. It also discusses common operational problems and their appropriate corrective actions. Definitions of key terms and self-examination questions are provided at the end of each chapter.
Trade Review"The main strength of Water and Wastewater Conveyance: Pumping, Hydraulics, Piping, and Valves by Spellman lies in author’s writing style on ready-to-use procedural applications for non-technical audiences. It will serve as a nice introduction to further evolutionary expansion."
— Professor Jaewan Yoon, Old Dominion University, USA
"...a wealth of information, easily classified for the reader and many straight forward worked calculations."
— Brian Garvey, Athlone Institute of Technology, Ireland
