Description
This Chemical Engineering guidebook contains tutorial-style engineering and “Facts at Your Fingertips” articles. Coverage includes strategies for minimizing fugitive emissions from valves, pumps, tanks, and piping systems through proper equipment selection, use of seals and gaskets, and operations and maintenance practices. Several articles also focus on reducing the risk of dust explosions—a critical safety concern in operations handling fine powders and bulk solids. The guidebook additionally addresses best practices for managing and modernizing plant revamps and capital-intensive projects.
Articles were originally published between 2010 and 2019. This is the first of a two-part series; Volume 2, entitled “Managing Air Pollution – Volume 2: Eye on Combustion and High-Temperature Operations,” is sold separately.
