Where can I find instructions (format, structure, etc.) for writing a
design manual for a biological wastewater treatment process.
The purpose of this manual is to let third party engineers to design
the process according to my manual.
the info in all http://www.usace.army.mil/... sites seems to be for
"limited distribution" after all, because i can not connect to any of
them (although they do sound very helpful).
Yes http://www.usace.army.mil/.... pages cannot be opened easily or
never! But I have downloaded HTML pages instead of opening them
directly via my web browser. Here is the list of URLs of chapters of
the book given in warthog's answer.

quick, and right to the point.
Hello again
Yes the USACE site does appear to be the most useful.
Using this link, I am able to download all of the pdf files:
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/eng-manuals/em1110-1-501/toc.htm
Maybe try a different ISP, or ask a friend or colleague if they can
access the information for you.
Remember the information is in PDF format, which means you either need
to right-click on the links and download the files to your computer
for opening with Adobe Acrobat Reader, or ensure the Acrobat Reader
plug-in is installed in your browser. There is more information at the
above link about how to view the documents ...
Please let me know how you get on!

Warthog
Hi Eytan
It appears that instructions that are exactly specific to your
requirements are hard to obtain (see 1. below however). I have noted
though, that there are excellent resources available that will assist
you with the format, structure, example headings, etc., for your
design manual document, and I've listed what I think are some helpful
ones below.
1. This may very well be what you are looking for:
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/eng-manuals/em1110-1-501/toc.htm
This table of contents gives you an idea of what they have available
for download and "unlimited distribution".
