The unit operations and processes introduced in Volume l are examined in detail in Volume ll. Application of
fundamental principles and rational design concepts is emphasized. Special attention is devoted to the selection
of design flow and process loading rates. The relationships between water and wastewater characteristics and treatment
plant performance are stressed.
