Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook Kingdwarf

Abstract

This book is written to serve as a reference handbook for the practicing engineer or scientist who needs to prepare the basic process engineering and cost estimation required for the design of an air pollution control system. The user of this book should have a fundamental understanding of the factors resulting in air pollution and a general knowledge of the techniques used for air pollution control. The topics presented in this handbook are covered in sufficient depth so that the user can proceed with the basic equipment design using the methods and design equations presented. Although moving sources, especially those powered by internal combustion engines, are serious contributors to the air pollution problem, this book will focus on stationary sources. Furthermore, this handbook will not consider nuclear power plants or other radioactive emissions. Therefore, the major audience for this book will be engineers and scientists in the chemical and petroleum processing industry and steam power plant and gas turbine industry. Using this book the air pollution control systems designer may • Begin to select techniques for control • Review alternative design methods • Review equipment proposals from vendors • Initiate cost studies of control equipment This book is certainly suitable for anyone with an engineering or science background who needs to get a basic introduction to air pollution control equipment design. It could also be used as a text or reference book in a continuing education program or a university classroom.
