"Completely rewritten to reflect contemporary interest in bioreactors used in wastewater treatment while maintaining the features that made its predecessor the unrivalled choice of educators, students, and practitioners for nearly two decades, this Second Edition of a classic textbook integrates the principles of biochemical processes with their applications in the real world - communicating modern, rational approaches to the conception, design, operation, and optimization of existing and novel biochemical unit operations in a comprehensive yet lucid manner."--Jacket.
