Description
Managing Air Pollution: Fugitive Emissions – Guidebook
This Chemical Engineering guidebook contains tutorial-style engineering and “Facts at Your Fingertips” articles focused on monitoring and managing vapor and particulate emissions during chemical process operations involving high temperatures and combustion.
The guidebook provides practical guidance for reducing fugitive emissions from burners, flares, combustion units, and other process equipment. Articles also include recommendations for protective equipment, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency. These articles were originally published in Chemical Engineering magazine between 2012 and 2017. Volume 1 — “Managing Air Pollution: Eye on Fugitive Emissions and Dust Explosions” — is sold separately.
