Nicholas P Cheremisinoff, Consulting Engineer, Ph.D. (Ch.E.). Consulting engineer
Description
This Handbook provides a concise overview of the latest technologies for managing industrial air pollution in petrochemical, oil and gas,
and allied industries. Detailed material on equipment selection, sizing, and troubleshooting operations is provided along with practical
design methodology. Unique to this volume are discussions and information on energy-efficient technologies and approaches to implementing
environmental cost accounting measures.
Included in the text are sidebar discussions, questions for thinking and discussing, recommended
resources for the reader (including Web sites), and a comprehensive glossary.
The Handbook of Air Pollution Prevention and Control also
includes free access to US EPA's air dispersion model SCREEN3. Detailed examples on the application of this important software to analyzing
air dispersion from industrial processes and point sources are provided in the Handbook, along with approaches to applying this important
tool in developing approaches to pollution prevention and in selecting control technologies. SCREEN3 can be downloaded from a Butterworth-Heinemann
Web site.
By applying SCREEN3, along with the examples given in the Handbook, the user can: evaluate the impact of processes and operations
to air quality, and apply the model to assess emergency scenarios to help in planning, to develop environmental impact assessments, to
select pollution control technologies, and to develop strategies for pollution prevention.
Two companion books by Cheremisinoff are
available:
Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies, and Handbook of Solid Waste Management and Waste Minimization Technologies.
