In handbook of water and wastewater treatment plant operations by Frank R. Spellman PDF, the intent of the author is twofold. The first intent is to consolidate the information and experience in waterworks and wastewater treatment plant operations that have evolved as a result of technological advances in the field, and as a result of the concepts and policies promulgated by the environmental laws and the subsequent guidelines. The second intent is to discuss step-by-step procedures for the correct and efficient operation of water and wastewater treatment systems. Tertiary to this twofold intent is the proper preparation of operators to qualify for state licensure and certification examinations.

The indented notes displayed in various locations throughout this text indicate or emphasize important points to study carefully.

This text is not about the planning, designing, or construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities. While these tasks are paramount to conception and construction of needed facilities and needed infrastructure, many excellent texts are available that cover these important areas. This text is not about engineering at all. Instead, it is about operations and is designed for the operator. We often forget the old axiom: someone must build it, but once built, someone must operate it. It is the operation of it that concerns us here.

This text is accessible to those who have no experience with water and wastewater operations. If you work through the text systematically, you can acquire and understanding of and skill in water and wastewater operations. This will add a critical component to your professional knowledge.
