Air Pollution Control Equipment Calculations (PDF)

Unique problem-and-solution approach for quickly mastering a
broad range of calculations

This book's problem-and-solution approach enables readers to
quickly grasp the fundamentals of air pollution control equipment
and essential applications. Moreover, the author sets forth solid
principles for the design and selection of air pollution control
equipment as well as for its efficient operation and maintenance.
Readers gain a deep understanding of both the equipment itself and
the many factors affecting performance.

Following two introductory chapters, the book dedicates four
chapters to examining control equipment for gaseous pollutants,
including adsorption, absorption, and incineration equipment. The
remaining six chapters deal with equipment for managing airborne
particulate pollutants, including gravity settlers, cyclones,
electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers, and baghouses. The appendix
contains discussions of hybrid systems, the SI system (including
conversion constants), and a cost-equipment model.

Each chapter offers a short introduction to the control device
discussed. Next, progressively more difficult problems with
accompanying solutions enable readers to build their knowledge as
they advance through the chapter. Problems reflect the most recent
developments in pollution control and include a variety of
performance equations and operation and maintenance calculations.
Each problem includes a statement of the problem, the data used to
solve the problem, and a detailed solution. Readers may further
hone their skills by visiting the text's Web site for additional
problems and solutions.

This publication serves both as a textbook for engineering
students and as a reference for engineers and technicians who need
to ensure that air pollution control equipment operates efficiently
and enables their facility to meet all air pollution control
standards and regulations.
