A detailed reference for the practicing engineer, Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook, Second Edition focuses on air pollution control systems and outlines the basic process engineering and cost estimation required for its design. Written by seasoned experts in the field, this book offers a fundamental understanding of the factors resulting in air pollution and covers the techniques and equations used for air pollution control.
Anyone with an engineering or science background can effectively select techniques for control, review alternative design methods and equipment proposals from vendors, and initiate cost studies of control equipment using this book. This second edition of a bestseller includes new methods for designing control equipment, enhanced material on air pollution science, updates on major advances in the field, and explains the importance of a strategy for identifying the most cost-effective design.
The book also covers:
- New legislation and updates on air regulation
- New advances in process integration design techniques
- The atmospheric and health effects of air pollution
Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook, Second Edition helps combat the solution problem with extensive coverage of air pollution control processes. Fully updated with new legislation, air regulations, and extensive reviews of the design of control equipment, this book serves as an ideal reference for industry professionals or anyone with an engineering or science background needing a basic introduction to air pollution control equipment design.
"The Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook is ideal for any engineer facing an air pollution challenge. In straightforward language, it presents the information that the design engineer needs. From understanding the regulations and drivers behind them, to permitting, sampling, and modeling, this reference helps the engineer new to air pollution control problems understand what they are dealing with, why it is important, and how to assess the magnitude of the issue they are facing."-E. W. Crabtree, Enercon Services, Inc., USA
"This is an excellent resource that I enthusiastically recommend for environmental and process engineers, consultants, academic researchers, and students. The highly-qualified authors provide an authoritative and comprehensive coverage of air pollution control technologies, regulations, economics, design, and practice. Written in a clear and exciting manner, the book balances the coverage of fundamentals and basic phenomena with practical experience."-Mahmoud El-Halwagi, Texas A&M University, College Station, USA
"The second edition of the Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook closely follows the outline and content of the first edition, with some updates in several places. The updated review of the Clean Air Act is well done and a notable feature is in the much enlarged Chapter 11 on the use of packed towers for absorption of volatile organic compounds that now includes modern metal structured tower packing designs. Overall this book provides a useful general reference for chemical engineers and others involved with the control of pollution emissions from industrial plants and as such it should be available in appropriate libraries."-Johnson Matthew Technology Review, January 2018
