Environmental Engineering in the Process Plant

This book contains nearly 40 recent articles from Chemical Engineering magazine on how to handle environmental problems related to the process plant. It is divided into three parts: solving airborne pollution problems; solving problems involving liquids; other environmental-engineering solutions. A broad range of topics are covered - fugitive emissions, wastewater treatment, underground storage, hazardous spills, fluegas desulfurization, the cost of air-pollution-control equipment, multiple-pipe containment and safe handling of highly toxic materials, to name but a ew. Throughout, the emphasis is on presenting material that is useful and practical. The typical article consists of information that the reader can apply directly in his or her work.
