This book is a good discussion of various air pollution control equipment. It covers a wide range of equipment and gives a good overview of the principles and applications. Very valuable is the practical experiences that are not commonly available in a typical textbook. The language is easy to understand, especially for those who do not have formal training in air pollution control. It provides hybrid systems such as those applied to biomass gasification, odor control using biological technology, plasma arc waste reduction, and more.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"As an operator and process engineer, I am constantly searching for insights into what the designer
intended, and how it impacts me five years or more later. This book is an attempt to do that, in a way that
let's the operator troubleshoot control equipment problems without compromising that designers intent.
More of this type book is needed - the chasm between design and operation must be spanned!"
