Storage Tanks (Advances in Environmental Control Technology)

The ninth volume in the distinguished series examines the latest research and techniques to control and even eliminate subsurface, groundwater, and marine pollution. The 32 chapters cover four broad categories: geotechnical subjects, remote and airborne sensing of pollution, leak detection, and treatment options. Each chapter reviews case studies and emerging technologies, such as containment systems for subsurface contaminants; remote sensing of cooling water discharges; using acoustic boundary waves for leak detection from aboveground storage tanks; and ozone treatment of drinking water. Includes numerous graphs, charts, and tables. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
