Download or read book Air Pollution Control Equipment written by H. Brauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has arisen directly from a course on Air and Water Pollution Control delivered by the first named author at the Technical University of Berlin. Extractions of this course have been presented in Brazil, Turkey and India. It was at the Indian Institute of Technology of Madras where the first named author got in contact with Professor Varma, who turned out to be a suggestive, cooperative coauthor. This book is addressed primarily to chemical, environmental and mechanical engineers, engaged in the design and operation of equipment for air pollution control. But it will certainly be helpful to chemists and physicists confronted with the solution of environmental problems. Furthermore it is intended as a text book for engineering courses on environmental protection. The goal of the book is the presentation of knowledge on design and operation of equipment applicable to the abatement of harmful emissions into air. The technology of air pollution control is of relatively young age, but it has already achieved a high degree of performance, due to the research and develop ment work invested in the last decades in this field.
Download or read book Air Pollution Control Equipment Selection Guide written by Kenneth C. Schifftner and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-06-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selection of air pollution control apparatus can be a daunting task even for experienced pollution control professionals. The Air Pollution Control Equipment Selection Guide eases the burden by providing extensive information on the best equipment available for any air pollution control problem. Instead of endorsing one technology over another, the author provides general information so that you can decide on the proper technology to use for any given application. The book offers ample introductory information including a helpful "Air Pollution 101" chapter that reviews the basics of air pollution control. The text is divided into sections that are organized by the primary technology employed, i.e., Quenching, Cooling, Particulate Removal, Gas Absorption, etc. This structure enables you to jump from section to section and quickly compare technologies. Each section defines the type of gas cleaning device, the basic physical forces used in it, its common sizes, and its most common uses. Many air pollution control problems are not solved with one type of device, but through using a variety of designs synergistically. To make this task easier, the author includes sections on each of these devices and notes where they are commonly used in concert with other equipment. Wherever possible, the text includes current photographs or drawings of typical equipment within that device type. Written in an easy to read style, Air Pollution Control Equipment Selection Guide serves as a technologically accurate reference that will facilitate the selection of air pollution control equipment for any operation.
