The most comprehensive, up-to-date manual available on wastewater residuals stabilization processes and technologies. Emphasizes stabilization theory, research results, and process design for stabilization processes such as anaerobic digestion, aerobic digestion, composting, and lime stabilization. New processes such as autothermal aerobic digestion, alkaline stabilization, heat drying, and other emerging technologies are also described. Replaces the 1985 edition of Sludge Stabilization.
