Build a practical engineering foundation for real waste and wastewater systems.

Waste and Wastewater Engineering Fundamentals gives students, early-career engineers, plant professionals, and technical learners a clear path from physical principles to design calculations, process selection, operations, and troubleshooting.

Rather than treating wastewater and solid waste as disconnected subjects, Robert Samuel Chen connects the systems through mass balances, treatment objectives, residuals, energy use, resource recovery, environmental protection, and lifecycle decisions.

Inside, you will learn how to:

- Characterize wastewater and solid-waste streams and convert measurements into engineering loads

- Analyze sewer collection, pumping, screening, grit removal, sedimentation, biological treatment, and secondary clarification

- Work with activated sludge, aeration, nutrient removal, chemical treatment, filtration, membranes, disinfection, and water reuse

- Evaluate industrial wastewater pretreatment, sludge and biosolids processing, anaerobic digestion, and resource recovery

- Apply engineering principles to recycling, organics processing, waste-to-energy systems, landfill capacity, leachate, and landfill gas

- Interpret plant data, instrumentation, alarms, process-control signals, and troubleshooting evidence

- Use worked calculations, diagnostic reasoning, and integrated design trade-offs to make defensible engineering decisions

Designed for engineering practice as well as study.

The book combines clear explanations, properly developed equations, worked examples, technical figures, review problems, safety considerations, Canadian engineering context, and a recurring municipal case study that connects individual unit processes into a complete system.

Ideal for environmental and civil engineering students, instructors, treatment-plant professionals, technicians, and practicing engineers who want a modern, calculation-focused reference to waste and wastewater engineering.
