Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Sewage Works: And Notes on the Sewage Farms of Paris and on Two German Works This volume is devoted wholly to existing municipal sewage works, and is founded on notes of the works described made by the author during a tour of inspection ending in June, 1904. The book is, therefore, essentially practical rather than theoretical. Moreover, the statements made are semi-official, since descriptions of the several works have been submitted, in typewritten form, to the engineers, chemists and managers who extended courtesies to the author, and in 26 out of 27 cases have been revised by them. How the book came to be written is stated on page 9 of the Introduction. The term "sewage works" has been adopted both because it is commonly used in Great Britain and because it is convenient and expressive. "Sewage treatment works" might be more completely descriptive, but is awkward. "Sewage disposal works" is too comprehensive a term and "Sewage purification works" would be, in many if not most cases, too pretentious. The term sewage works has been used but little if at all in America, but it seems that it might be adopted with advantage. For the convenience of readers on both sides of the Atlantic both British and United States measures and money values, where differences exist, have been given. The desirability for so doing will be realized when it is remembered that the British or Imperial gallon is one-sixth larger than the United States gallon, and that a ton in Great Britain always means 2,240 pounds and a hundredweight 112 pounds; whereas in the United States, tons of both 2,240 pounds and 2,000 are used, making it necessary, or at least safer, here to specify whether a long or a short ton is intended. In conclusion, both the author and publishers desire to thank the many friends in Great Britain and on the Continent of Europe who have aided in making possible the production of this book.
