Walter R. Niessen, P.E. (Niessen Consultants) - 2002 Hardcover 696 pp.
The definitive reference, newly revised and expanded. The third edition provides new and expanded material detailing breakthroughs in air pollution control; developments in refuse gasification technology, low-termperature thermal processing methods for remediation of soil, and plasma processing; ash removal and handling, waste processing, energy recovery, and process control; design parameters and operating characteristics for a wide range of incineration systems; estimation equations and engineering correlations for system construction and computer-based process simulation; and numerous tables detailing the chemical and physical properties of wastes. Each aspect of an incineration facility is covered, from contaminant receipt and storage to stack discharge dispersion. Operation and evaluation of incineration systems for advances in materials handling, waste processing, refractory and materials engineering, combustion technology, and energy recovery to reduce and control toxins and pollutants in the environment are also highlighted. A disk is included containing spreadsheets of proactical analyses of waste characteristics and combustion systems.
