Spellman's Standard Handbook for Wastewater Operators, Three Volume Set is a readily accessible source of information for review in preparing wastewater personnel for operator certification and licensure. These resource manuals and troubleshooting guides contain a compilation of wastewater treatment information, data, operational material, process control procedures and problem solving, safety and health information, new trends in wastewater treatment administration and technology, and numerous sample problem-solving practice sets, many based on actual tests.

The Handbook's Three volumes review the wastewater operator's job-related knowledge as job requirements identified by the examination developers as essential for a minimally competent Class IV through Class I or Grade I through Grade V wastewater treatment plant operator. Every attempt has been made to make the three Handbook volumes as comprehensive as possible, while maintaining their compact, practical format.

The Handbooks' goal is to enhance the understanding, awareness, and abilities of practicing operators and those who want to become operators. The three volumes are designed to build on each other, providing increasingly advanced information. For persons preparing for operator's licensing, this is critical, because wastewater treatment is a complex process. For licensed veteran operators, continuous review is also critical, because wastewater treatment is an evolving, dynamic, ever-changing field. Spellman's Standard Handbooks provide the vehicle for reaching these goals.
