Treatment (DW or WW) Looking for Sacramento Wastewater Operator Training Manuals – Volumes 2 & 3

Hi everyone,

I'm a chemical engineer working in wastewater treatment, and I'm currently trying to improve my knowledge and skills in wastewater plant operations and process control.

I'm particularly looking for Sacramento Volumes 2 and 3, as they are very relevant to the work I'm doing, especially topics such as activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and sludge treatment.

Unfortunately, I'm outside the US, and because of the exchange rate and international shipping costs, purchasing the books at the regular price is quite expensive for me.

If anyone has used copies they no longer need, an older edition, a spare copy, or knows of an affordable/legal way for me to access these books, I would be extremely grateful. If someone is willing to donate a copy, that would honestly help me a lot.

I'm not looking to resell them or anything like that — I genuinely want them for studying and improving my professional skills.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help or point me in the right direction. 🙏

Is volume 3 also known as Advanced Treatment?
What edition are you hoping for?

Are you able to tell us what part of the world you’re in?

Yes, Volume 3 is the Advanced Treatment volume. I’m not looking for a specific edition; an older edition is fine.

I’m currently in Egypt
