Environmental solutions
In our changing world, society demands more comprehensive and thoughtful solutions from environmental engineers, environmental consultants and scientists dealing with the degradation of our environment. Lead by Nelson Nemerow and Franklin Agardy, experts in business, academia, government and practice have been brought together in this book to provide guidance for these environmental professionals. The reader is presented with a variety of solutions to common and not so common environmental problems which lay the groundwork for environmental advocates to decide which solutions will work best for their particular circumstances. This book discusses chemical, biological, physical, forensic, medical, international, economic, political, industrial-collaborative solutions and solutions for rural and developing countries giving readers the freedom to evaluate a variety of options and make informed decisions. End of chapter questions and additional resources are included making this an invaluable teaching tool and ideal reference for those currently involved in improving and preserving our environment. * Contributions by international experts in government, industry, and academia.* Editors are recognized as the editors of Environmental Engineering, the best selling title published by John Wiley* The first action-oriented book for environmental engineers.

Industrial waste treatment
Taking the reader through the history of industrial waste treatment and directing them toward a new path of best practice, this book illustrates how current treatment techniques are affected by regulatory and economic constraints, scientific knowledge and tolerances. This book provides the reader with the basis for a more effective method of waste treatment which is sustainable and supportive of industrial improvements. Overall, it provides valuable information for planners, industrial, civil and environmental engineers and government officials for a better understanding of current practices and regulatory history and how these factors relate to the ability to complete environmental solutions to industrial waste problems. * Provides environmental history from a professional/technical point-of-view as a basis for total solutions engineering * Includes sustainable practice necessary for the 21st Century * Thoroughly explores industry and environmental regulations over the past 150 years

Chapter 11 - Industrial Collaborative Solutions
This chapter presents various solutions for environmental issues that involve polluting manufacturing industries themselves. During 1950–1980, industry discharged industrial wastewaters into municipal sewers and sewage treatment plants. The free or nominal use of the municipal system has long been an unofficial “boon” to industry. Even the prohibitive charge to industry has often been economically acceptable to industry as it avoided legal and/or managerial responsibilities on the part of the industry itself. Because of the problems and ineffectiveness of combined treatment, as well as the situations that automatically call for its rejection, industry has sought other solutions. The most logical and used solution is that of reusing its wastes in which wastes are reused within the industrial plant itself. The next potential for waste reuse is to contract with a “scavenger” collector to transport such wastes to a large, central industrial waste disposal plant. The last waste reuse technique involves the direct marketing of waste as a resource for another industrial plant. Because of the inadequacies of combined treatment, a new solution has evolved, which is known as environmentally balanced industrial complex (EBIC). The EBIC is a selective collection of compatible industrial plants located together in one area (complex) to minimize (or eliminate) both environmental impact and industrial production costs. These objectives are met by utilizing the waste materials of one plant as the raw materials for another with a minimum of transportation, storage, and raw material preparation. When a manufacturing plant neither treats its waste, nor stores or pretreats certain of its raw materials, its overall production costs are reduced significantly.

Baffled Biological Basins for Treating Poultry Plant Wastes
A Millsboro, Delaware, poultry plant processes 10,000 chickens/hr with a wastewater of 40,000 gph (42 l/sec) and an effluent of 2,500 lb (1,135 kg) 5-day BOD/day at an average biochemical oxygen demand of 630 mg/l. Because the area is recreationally and commercially of great value, a program was initiated to reduce the wastewater concentration at a maximum cost of $100,000. A two-stage oxidation pond was selected. The first stage consists of a baffled, high-rate, deep pond. The second stage is a shallow, photosynthetic basin. Cost was $90,000. Loadings of over 200 lb/day/acre (22.4 g/day/sq m) have resulted in organic reductions of 85 to 90 percent and coliform counts of less than 10/100 ml.
