Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sewage Question The Sewage Question resolves itself into this: What is the cheapest and most efficient technical process for rendering human excreta useful instead of dangerous? To answer it we give, in the following pages, a succinct account of all the various systems hitherto employed for that purpose; and having drawn our information from the most reliable authorities, both English and foreign, leave the reader to form his own conclusions, not doubting but that, on the whole, they will coincide with our own. Among the most valuable of these sources, of which we have principally availed ourselves, are the writings of Captain Charles T. Liernur, Civil and Military Engineer, who, during a number of years, has professedly had an extensive practice in various branches of engineering on both sides of the Atlantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sewage Treatment, Purification, and Utilization The importance of the Sewage question may, perhaps, be fairly gauged by the number of patents of which it has been the subject, and its still unsettled state may be concluded from their varied and contradictory character. Freezing and heating, concentration and dilution, electrisation and magnetising, the addition of oxidisers and deoxidisers, of ferments and preventives of fermentation recommended, if not actually tried, show the want of any distinct and generally recognised principle. I have, therefore, thought it my duty to lay before the public in plain language and in a concise form the result of my experience in treating sewage and waste waters. That experience dates back to the year 1868, and except in 1870 my attention has during the whole of that time been almost exclusively directed to this question. I have worked with sewage in every quantity, from a few ounces in a beaker or a hydrometer-jar to a daily flow of ten million gallons. I have had opportunities for examining almost every known process, irrigation, filtration, aeration as well as precipitation in its many variations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sewage Question in California: Report of the State Engineer, Wm; Ham; Hall, to the Board of Directors of the Stockton Insane Asylum on the Sewerage for the Institution in Their Charge Gentlemen: The question of sewerage for your institution naturally divides itself into two parts: The First - What shall be done with the sewage matter? The Second - By means of what works and appliances shall it be disposed of? The ultimate determination of each of these questions involves a consideration of the other, but the study must commence with the first mentioned. This report is divided into five parts; the first four being devoted to the first question above mentioned, and the last one to the second question, as follows: Part I - The Pollution of Rivers and Estuaries. Part 2 - The Application of Sewage to Land. Part 3 - The Artificial Treatment of Sewage. Part 4 - The Disposal of the Asylum Sewage. Part 5 - The Sewage Works Proposed at the Asylum. In submitting this paper I do not apologise for requiring so much of your time as it will take to read a long report, because I am impressed with the magnitude of the subject, and with a sense of the fact that we are about to take a step which will be looked to as having been a precedent, when in the future this sewage disposal question shall have attracted as much attention here as it has in older countries; and I feel that it is our duty as officers of the State to leave behind a record of the fact that we have looked deeper than the surface of the matter, and tried, at least, to start aright.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sewage Purification: Brought Up to Date, 1896 The result of his experience and of all the knowledge he had gained, having served on two Royal Commissions appointed for the special purpose of investigating the sewage question, was that crude sewage in its simplest form, without tampering with it by chemicals, was the best form for the land, and would produce the best results if applied judiciously in proper dilution, in proper quantities and at proper times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Sewage Utilization The question of Sewage Utilization, together with that of the drainage of towns and the purification of our rivers and water-courses, has been for some years past forcing itself upon public attention. Numerous Reports have been pre sented to Parliament, all setting forth the magnitude of the evils of the present system, and representing the urgency of immediate reform. As far back as the year 1858, a Com mission [s. U. C., of which Lord Essex was Chairman, reported to this effect, and as yet little or nothing has been done. There is no doubt that what has chiefly deterred Local Boards, or other governing bodies in towns from taking any action in the matter, has been the difficulty of finding out the most satisfactory mode of practically dealing with what everyone admits to be a gigantic difficulty. Most of the systems of Sewage Utilization hitherto adopted in many of our towns have proved unremunerative as speculations; the success of others has been supposed to depend upon certain special conditions, unattainable in other places and some are known to have failed to accomplish the most important part of their programme, namely, that of dealing with the sewage matter in such a way as to render it per fectly innocuous, both during and after treatment.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cleaning and Sewerage of Cities The first part of Prof. Baumeister's book - here omitted concerns plans for the extension of cities, for pavements, and street railways. This omission is justified by the existence of publica tions on these subjects which are well adapted to American wants. The second part - forming the present volume - concerns the de sign and construction of sewerage works, the purification of sewage, street cleaning, and refuse removal. After stating the general principles governing grades, depth, outlets, and alignments, the author, in Chapters 2 and 3, enters upon the question of the quantities of sewage and rain-water to be provided for. It is asserted that the German practice in design ing water-works is to allow 40 galls. Per head per day. In America the water consumption is much greater and also varies in different cities, reaching in some instances more than three times the above amount.

This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sewerage of the Village of Geneva, New York The entire question of the proper disposal of sewage of towns is still in an experimental stage. Various methods have been proposed and tried for the purification of sewage. One of the most effective of these, is filtration through land, which requires the acquisition of a large tract of ground of gravelly material, underdrained to a depth of five or six feet. The effluent from these drains is in some cases satisfactory, in others not, and complaint is made of the the effluent flowing into streams. Another method is that of chemical sedimentation, in which certain chemicals are added to the sewage; the solid matters are deposited quickly while the effluent is partially purified and is allowed to flow ofl; the sludge which is deposited being either carried away, or by mechanical means compressed into cakes and consumed, as at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago, in a Cremator. Another method which has attracted attention recently is that of purification by Electrolysis. This method is still in an experimental stage entirely, and While good results are claimed by its advocates, its efficiency is not acknowledged by all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farm Water Supply and Sewage Disposal The question of coat which this farmer mentions is important. There are few indeed but will admit that a complete water system for the farm is highly desirable; but many are deterred because of the expense involved. Many improvements may be made, however, each as safeguarding the well from pollution, inetalling an hydraulic ram, septic tank, gravity system, etc., which are not very expensive. And when the farmer is able to do a good deal of the work himself the coat is reduced to. A point where thousands can aflord the installations. Manydillcrcnt systems and devices, or modifications oi use, may also be used according to local requirements and the peculiar circumstances of each case. With a prac tical working knowledge of the principles of farm water supply, water systems, equipment and sewage disposal, few indeed who have impure well water and are without household and stable water conveniences but can make improvements of a most beneficial nature and at a cost which they can aflord to pay.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discussion of the Prevailing Theories and Practices Relating to Sewage Disposal This discussion of questions relating to sewage disposal is prompted by reason of the disregard with which these questions have been treated in this country until very recent years, and the prominence lately given to the method of sewage disposal by land. It deals rather with the principles embraced in the prevailing methods of sewage disposal than with methods of mechanically treating sewage. The more thoroughly these questions are discussed the more generally will they be understood and the more speedily effectual will become the efforts that are directed to the devising of practicable methods of finally and inoffensively disposing of the sewage of populous districts.

Download or read book Sewerage and Sewage Disposal a Textbook Classic Reprint written by Leonard Metcalf and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sewerage and Sewage Disposal a d104book Since the three volumes of "American Sewerage Practice" were published in 1914-1915, the authors have been urged to prepare a single-volume abridgment of them for class use in engineering schools. The authors were reluctant to do this, because of two conditions. The first is the great variation in the time devoted to sewerage engineering in different schools. This has the result that a textbook so brief as to verge on the superficial from the viewpoint of one class may be too detailed for another. The second condition is the fact that some of those features of sewerage engineering which in practice it is most important to master are apparently held by those laying out college courses to deserve little attention from students. For example, a wise estimate of the quantities of sewage and storm water to be handled is the basis of design of a sewerage system, yet the methods of preparing such estimates and actual practice in their use receive relatively little attention in college courses. Furthermore, the best arrangement of the main sewers in a sewerage plan may depend largely upon the treatment, if any, that the sewage must receive before disposal and upon the place of disposal, subjects involving a knowledge of the nature of sewage and the changes which it undergoes under natural conditions or those involved in specific methods of treatment. Yet some college classes in sewerage engineering receive no instruction in sewage treatment. As the requests for a textbook continued, the authors finally decided to prepare a book giving the information which they consider it desirable for the young student to acquire before taking up work in this field. In a sense, they have felt under obligations as professional engineering specialists to do their part in smoothing the way for the first steps taken by engineering students in this branch of engineering. This book can be used in two ways. The text can be read and mastered within the time allotted to the subject even when the course is very short.

Download or read book Sewage Disposal Classic Reprint written by Leonard P. Kinnicutt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sewage Disposal When this book was begun, neither H. P. Raikes' "Design, Construction and Maintenance of Sewage Disposal Works" nor H. T. Calvert's translation of Dunbar's "Principles of Sewage Treatment" had been published. Even after these excellent books appeared, however, it still seemed to us that there remained room for a general survey of the problem from the various viewpoints of the chemist, the sanitary biologist and the engineer, and with particular reference to the conditions of American practice. It has been our aim to discuss somewhat fully the fundamental principles of chemistry and bacteriology which are involved and yet to include also the more important aspects of the engineering works designed to carry them into operation. It is hoped that the book may be useful to the student of sanitary engineering who aims to fit himself for the construction of sewage disposal works, to the engineer who after, working in other lines is drawn into this growing field, and to the chemist, the bacteriologist and the public health official concerned in the operation of disposal works after they are built. The thanks of the authors are due to a long list of engineers and others who have furnished unpublished data for various sections of the book. In particular, grateful mention must be made of Mr. J. D. Watson, of Birmingham, England; Mr. G. J. Fowler, of Manchester, England; Mr. W. J. Dibdin, of London, England; Mr. H. P. Eddy, Mr. Leonard Metcalf and Mr. F. A. Barbour, of Boston; Mr. G. E.
