L'assainissement des eaux est l'une des principales préoccupations des collectivités locales. Les politiques nationales et communautaires de l'environnement sont appelées à définir des objectifs de qualité pour garantir la protection des milieux et retrouver le bon état des masses d'eau, sans toutefois interdire tout développement économique. Les sciences et techniques évoluant plus vite que le droit, ces objectifs doivent être constamment améliorés et adaptés aux conditions locales et aux spécificités des ouvrages d'assainissement. Qu'il s'agisse des eaux usées, dont la collecte et l'épuration doivent être encore améliorées, ou des eaux pluviales, dont les quantités ne cessent d'augmenter et qui véhiculent de plus en plus de pollution, la nécessité de concevoir des dispositifs adaptés et des systèmes efficaces est un enjeu majeur pour les responsables techniques et pour les élus. Cette troisième édition enrichie et mise à jour traite des nouvelles techniques employées pour la collecte, l'évacuation et le traitement des eaux, ainsi que de la conception et de la réalisation des réseaux et des ouvrages. Les modes de calcul à appliquer pour se conformer à la réglementation, la gestion et l'exploitation des systèmes y sont largement décrits. Par sa démarche méthodologique et son approche globale de l'assainissement, cet ouvrage s'adresse aux entreprises et à tous les professionnels chargés de résoudre des problèmes d'assainissement, intégrés à la maîtrise d'ouvrage ou à la maîtrise d'œuvre. Ce Guide technique de l'assainissement est aussi une référence indispensable et un outil de travail pratique pour toute personne concernée par le respect de l'environnement.

Over the past two decades, the use of microbes to remove pollutants from contaminated air streams has become a widely accepted and efficient alternative to the classical physical and chemical treatment technologies. This book focuses on biotechnological alternatives, looking at both the optimization of bioreactors and the development of cleaner biofuels. It is the first reference work to give a broad overview of bioprocesses for the mitigation of air pollution. Essential reading for researchers and students in environmental engineering, biotechnology, and applied microbiology, and industrial and governmental researchers.

The Sustainable City in Africa Facing the Challenge of Liquid Sanitation

This book questions the role of liquid sanitation in the development of cities in Africa. The absence of sewerage networks and treatment plants in African cities already submerged by rapid and anarchic urbanization is a major problem. To meet this challenge, it is urgent to rethink urban water governance and impose and enforce sustainable urban planning standards. In other words, sanitation issues must now be placed at the heart of urban planning.

This project aims at the evaluation of eight various routes that potentially may allow wastewater treatment plants to produce less sludge (from 5% to 100%). It has been possible to define several routes that could be applied efficiently with knowledge of possible side-effects (risk management) and an estimation of associated costs (OPEX/CAPEX), which are quite comparable to those used in conventional sludge treatment and disposal.

This series of five volumes proposes an integrated description of physical processes modeling used by scientific disciplines from meteorology to coastal morphodynamics. Volume 1 describes the physical processes and identifies the main measurement devices used to measure the main parameters that are indispensable to implement all these simulation tools. Volume 2 presents the different theories in an integrated approach: mathematical models as well as conceptual models, used by all disciplines to represent these processes. Volume 3 identifies the main numerical methods used in all these scientific fields to translate mathematical models into numerical tools. Volume 4 is composed of a series of case studies, dedicated to practical applications of these tools in engineering problems. To complete this presentation, volume 5 identifies and describes the modeling software in each discipline.

Bibliographic Guide to Refrigeration 1965-1968 is a bibliographic guide to all the documents abstracted in the International Institute of Refrigeration Bulletin during the period 1965-1968. The references include nearly 7,000 reports, articles, and communications, classified according to subjects, and followed by a listing of books. This book is divided into 10 parts and begins with a listing of references on thermodynamics, heat transfer, and other basic physical phenomena relating to refrigeration, including desiccation and measurements of temperature, humidity, and pressure. The next sections are devoted to the physics of low temperatures and cryogenics; production and distribution of cold; refrigerating plants (mainly in the food domain); and refrigerated transport and packaging. Other references deal with air conditioning and heat pumps; and industrial, biological, medical, and agricultural applications of refrigeration. The final section focuses on standards and regulations, economics and statistics, and education and trade activities in the refrigeration industry. This guide is intended to assist researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and operators who are in either constant or occasional contact with the refrigeration domain.
