scope:

This handbook contains design criteria for the collection, transport, and treatment of domestic wastewater discharges from Navy facilities. Particular details covered include design procedures and guidelines; domestic wastewater characterization, collection, and treatment; effluent disposal; treatment and disposal of wastewater residuals; and air pollution control for wastewater processes. Emphasis has been placed on processes and equipment which have had wide application and for which there is significant design and operation experience. Systems particularly applicable to the size and type of facilities operated by the Navy are emphasized.

This handbook does not cover systems for the control of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines, boilers or air scrubbers, systems for the control of wastes from nuclear reactors, or systems for control, transport, and disposal of hazardous wastes.
