This well-worn copy of the second edition of David Jenkins’ “Manual on the Causes and Control of Activated Sludge Bulking and Foaming” bears the marks of a book that has been heavily referenced and studied. While its physical condition may not be pristine, the underlining and annotations within its pages speak to the practical value this technical manual has held for generations of wastewater treatment professionals. Originally published in 1980, this seminal work by the renowned environmental engineer David Jenkins has become a standard reference for understanding and mitigating the operational challenges posed by activated sludge bulking and foaming – two common issues that can severely impair the efficiency of biological wastewater treatment plants. With its comprehensive coverage of the underlying causes, diagnostic methods, and control strategies for these phenomena, this book has played a vital role in optimizing treatment processes and ensuring the proper handling of municipal and industrial effluents. For collectors interested in the history of environmental engineering and the evolution of wastewater management practices, this well-thumbed copy offers a tangible connection to the field’s rich past and the dedicated professionals who have relied on Jenkins’ expertise to safeguard public health and protect our vital water resources.
