Synopsis

In the debate over pollution control, the price of pollution is a key issue. But which is more costly: clean up or prevention? From regulations to technology selection to equipment design, Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook serves as a single source of information on commonly used air pollution control technology. It covers environmental regulations and their history, process design, the cost of air pollution control equipment, and methods of designing equipment for control of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter.

This book covers how to:

Review alternative design methods

Select methods for control

Evaluate the costs of control equipment

Examine equipment proposals from vendors

With its comprehensive coverage of air pollution control processes, the Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook is a detailed reference for the practicing engineer who prepares the basic process engineering and cost estimation required for the design of an air pollution control system. It discusses the topics in depth so that you can apply the methods and equations presented and proceed with equipment design.

About this title

Review

Being, a chemical engineer, it is a pleasure to review a book written by chemical engineers who cite the literature I am familiar with, especially the early papers dealing with the theory underlining pollution control processes. ... To say the least coverage of air pollution control equipment design is comprehensive. No important air pollution control technology is omitted and each topic is covered well, albeit succinctly. This book is an excellent source book for air pollution control technology and is highly recommended.
