M80 Biological Drinking Water Treatment

Utilities continue to face source water quality challenges that require more robust and flexible treatment. Biological treatment processes can boost treatment resiliency and improve the overall sustainability of water treatment processes by leveraging microorganisms found in natural water systems to biologically transform or degrade compounds. This first edition of AWWA Manual M80, Biological Drinking Water Treatment, covers all common biological treatment processes in practice today, focusing on key elements of biological treatment such as applications, processes, history, and key terminology. The manual also provides in-depth guidance on the four prevalent applications of biological treatment: surface water applications with aerobic conditions, ground water applications with either aerobic or anaerobic conditions, and reuse applications with aerobic conditions.
