processes, and
• A new chapter on innovative methods for procuring services related to facility

This book is intended to appeal to a wide range of professionals responsible for
regulating, monitoring, and designing industrial waste facilities. Engineering consultants, industrial waste managers and
purchasing department managers,
government
regulators, and graduate students will find this book
invaluable.
The book has been written by a diverse
group of
professionals experienced in
the
particular
area of concern. Design engineers, industrial managers, university
professors, and
regulators have combined their
efforts to
produce a book that is
thoroughly
grounded in theory but is a practical
resource for those who need to apply
