Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration

Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration, Second Edition
The control of hazardous wastes is one of today′s most critical environmental issues. Increasing numbers of engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel are being confronted with problems in this important area. Incineration has become an available and vital option to meet the new challenge of containing hazardous wastes. Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration, Second Edition provides a reference work that examines the basic concepts, principles, equipment, and applications pertaining to hazardous waste incineration.
Uniquely serving as both an essential guidebook for practicing engineers and a text for engineering students, this new edition contains updated information in the area of standards and regulations, equipment, materials handling equipment, instrumentation, control performance testing, final permit, and facility design. The authors′ aim is to offer the reader the fundamentals of incineration with appropriate practical application to the incineration of wastes, in addition to providing an introduction to the specialized literature in this and related areas.
Complete with illustrative examples, this informative Second Edition highlights:Recent history of standards and regulations, including the recently enacted MACT Standards for hazardous waste combustionIncineration principles, including stoichiometric calculations, and thermochemical considerationsEquipment that may be found in a waste incineration facility (i.e., incinerator, waste heat boiler, quench systems, and air pollution control equipment)Design principles and their application to a hazardous waste incineration facilityPractice problems at the end of each technical chapter
Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration, Second Edition offers chemical and environmental engineers working in the hazardous waste control area, as well as technic ians and maintenance professionals, the necessary literature to cope with some of the complex problems encountered in waste incineration today.
