Description
This Handbook is an essential tool for plant managers, process engineers, environmental consultants, and site remediation specialists
that focuses on practices for handling a broad range of industrial solid waste problems. In addition to equipment and process options,
the author presents information on waste minimization practices that can be used in conjunction with or can provide alternatives to equipment
and process investments. Environmental cost accounting measures and energy-efficient technologies are provided.
Valuable information
for those concerned with meeting government regulations and with the economic considerations (such as fines for violations and cost-effective
methods) is presented in a practical manner. Included in the text are sidebar discussions, questions for thinking and discussion, recommended
resources for the reader (including Web sites), and a comprehensive glossary.
Two companion books by Cheremisnoff are available:
Handbook
of Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies, and Handbook of Air Pollution Control Technologies.
Audience
Environmental engineers helping clients with regulatory compliance and waste minimization; government agencies mandating regulations and
inspecting sites; manufacturers in all industries managing processes to reduce solid waste production and contamination; health and safety
professionals; undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering.
