Description
This guidebook contains practical, how-to engineering articles originally published in Chemical Engineering, including useful tip sheets from Chemical Engineering’s “Facts at Your Fingertips.”
The collection of tutorial-style articles covers monitoring and managing vapor and particulate emissions during chemical process operations. Tips are provided for reducing or eliminating fugitive emissions from tanks, pipes, and process equipment. The guidebook also focuses on the proper operation and management of burners, combustion units, and flares to minimize their environmental impact.
Several articles share best practices for reducing the risk of dust explosions — a risk that is ever-present in bulk-solids-processing operations handling fine powders — as well as providing related safety tips to reduce hazards associated with vapor emissions. Additional content includes guidance for modernizing plant revamps and managing capital-intensive projects.
