Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Filtration Works In 1839 James Simpson built a set of filters for the Chelsea Water Company at London. These filters, the first constructed for the purification of a municipal water-supply, were intended merely "to clarify the water, no investigations, at that date, having been made to determine what results, other than clarification, could be obtained by filters properly designed and operated. Twenty-seven years later Mr. James P. Kirkwood visited Europe for the city of St. Louis for the purpose of studying the methods of filtration in use abroad. On his return he submitted a report in which the filtering of the St. Louis water was recommended, following this report in 1869 with a treatise on the "Filtration of River Waters." This book contained the results of his observations and studies of thirteen filter-plants in Europe, and was the first publication to appear in English on the subject of filtration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Purification In the following pages it is intended to treat only of the first division of this subject, since the second covers too broad a field to bring it Within the mom of this volume. Both the kind and the amount of impurities in a polluted water affect the methods which can be employed for its purification, and this is so peculiarly true of sewage that its treatment has become an art in itself. Those waters which are to be purified for drinking purposes demand that a degree Of purity shall be produced which is not possible and usually unnecessary in the case Of sewage. The purification of the latter is, as a rule, quite incomplete as compared with that required for a safe drinking water, and obviously the Object to be attained is quite difl'erent. In the case of waters to be treated for making them suitable for steam-boiler purposes, or for general industrial uses, a slightly different Object is sought. The softening of hard waters or the removal of compounds of iron or manganese may be an integral part of the purification of a public drinking water supply, in which case it is combined with those processes utilized for making a water hygienically safe. Of course it is quite possible to carry on purification for industrial purposes independently of the more refined methods used for drinking water, and frequently this course is pursued in connection with manufacturing plants.

The flow of this stream is subject to extreme variations, due to the nature of the country drained, and to the unequal distribution of rainfall throughout the year. A no accurate data were at hand from which to calculate these variations of flow, they were annroximated by various formulas and methods, the results of which follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Purification and Sewage Disposal Since the recognition of their significance in the promotion of the public health, methods of water purification and sewage disposal have earned a steadily increasing importance. Consequently, these branches of industry have enjoyed the most zealous atten tion of the scientist and of the engineer. I have endeavoured in the present monograph to give a survey, short perhaps, but as complete as possible, of the present position in regard to Water Purification and Sewage Disposal. Owing to the wide range of this subject particular processes could only be treated shortly in the space at disposal. One chapter, which is very fully treated in the present volume, though slightly elsewhere, is the disposal of industrial sewage. Many of the processes of purification are of quite recent date, and fresh experience is being obtained daily and reported upon in the most diverse publications. I have endeavoured to collect such information. In the translation some small changes and additions have been made in the chapters on sand filtration, the removal of manganese, and Travis and Emscher wells.

L .an*r of the largest American cities are supplying their people with water which, to say the least, is of doubtful purity. It is an acknowledged fact that many severe epidemics of disease, especially typhoid fever, have been caused by polluted water. Undoubtedly many such epidemics have been attributed to other causes when they have, in reality, been the results of an impure water supply.
