Corrosion and Materials Fundamentals for Engineers in Wastewater Treatment Plants and Collection Systems

This handbook educates engineers and maintenance personnel who design, operate, and maintain large, multi-stage wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in municipal and industrial service, on the basics of corrosion of metals and degradation of non-metals, including concrete, and how to mitigate them. The authors' goal is to provide enough knowledge about the damage mechanisms affecting construction materials for the reader to design and cost-effectively maintain the different types of fixed equipment, including tanks, pressure vessels, basins, stacks, foundations, piping, structures, etc., in the WWTP and collection systems.
