Essential Insights, Design Details, and Real-world Examples??for??the??Design of Air Pollution Control Equipment

Providing the pragmatic perspective of practicing engineers and applied scientists, Design of Air Pollution Control Equipment serves as a unique technology-transfer guide in air pollution control, enabling readers to address pollutants across diverse industries.

The book shows how to curb air pollutants produced throughout human-made industrial processes, by providing the guidance needed to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of various types of air pollution control equipment.

Readers will find:

• Comprehensive chapters on designing air pollution control equipment for gases and particulates, along with advanced systems such as hybrid systems, NO_x control, CO₂ control, and flue gas desulfurization systems
• 50 detailed examples and comprehensive field data for practical design and engineering solutions
• Technical details, calculation methods, and illustrative examples??in??a user-friendly format
• Design options to control air pollution emissions and the pros/cons of the alternatives
• Harmful effects of high concentrations of pollutants, including higher global temperatures, reduced visibility, and diminished overall air quality

This book is an ideal reference for consultants, federal, state, and local agency personnel, advanced students, practicing engineers, and science professionals working in environmental science, environmental health, and environmental control.
