Synopsis

The ultimate air pollution control problem-solver kit

Now you can solve virtually any air pollution control (APC) problem that comes your way--all you need is this hands-on guide. It's loaded with all the problem-solving tools, troubleshooting tips and advice you need to facilitate every aspect of APC management, design and regulatory compliance.

You get crystal-clear, step-by-step guidelines for designing and selecting APC equipment. . .specifying and purchasing APC systems. . .setting air pollution control policy. . .adhering to the Clean Air Amendments of 1990. . .maintaining compliance documentation. . .and much, much more. This is the one source to turn to for fast, accurate information on any of the major APC system technologies and methods--cyclones, media filtration, particulate scrubbing, electrostatic precipitators, absorption separators, thermal oxidizers, you name it!

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Here are all the technologies, techniques, and tips you'll need to maintain air pollution control efficiency. If you're an engineer or technician involved in the control of air pollution and product recovery, this reference can give you a comprehensive, working knowledge of the APC equipment and systems needed to solve a wide range of pollution problems. Written in a simple, straightforward style, with a minimum of math-based theory, Industrial Air Pollution Control Systems provides you with useful insight into: Media Filtration and cyclones--two of the best methods for particle/gas separation in process systems; Particle scrubbing, electrostatic precipitators, and thermal oxidizers--all primary APC methods; Fans and blowers--major components of virtually all APC systems; The particle and basic gas physics needed to understand the design and selection of APC equipment; Testing methods and protocols used for gathering design data and showing compliance with environmental regulations; The selection process of APC systems--including how to specify and purchase a system; Industrial ventilation--the system that gathers contaminated gas and delivers it to the APC equipment; Basic methods and standards of APC equipment construction. With this information, you'll be able to choose and operate the right APC technologies for specific problems and avoid costly inefficiencies, in any kind of industrial plant.
