Engineering

This book presents a general methodology for process engineering and design which can be applied to solve any specific air pollution control problem. Problem-solving coverage includes optimization techniques, cost estimation methodology, control of gaseous pollutants emissions and nitrogen oxides emissions, the design of fabric filters, flue gas desulfurization systems, control of particulate matter emissions, and more.

• provides a rigorous treatment of equipment design and cost estimation, including optimization techniques.

• uses SI units exclusively, eliminating the tedious task of unit conversions.

• includes FORTRAN subroutines for solving computationally complex problems.

• presents different approaches for dealing with volatile organic compound emissions: incineration and carbon adsorption.

• summarizes Federal air pollution legislation and its impact on control equipment design.
