Presents a problem-and-solution approach that enables readers to grasp the fundamentals of air pollution control equipment and essential applications. This book presents solid principles for the design and selection of air pollution control equipment as well as for its efficient operation and maintenance.

Next, progressively more difficult problems with accompanying solutions enable readers to build their knowledge as they advance through the chapter.Problems reflect the most recent developments in pollution control and include a variety of performance equations and operation and maintenance calculations. Each problem includes a statement of the problem, the data used to solve the problem, and a detailed solution. Readers may further hone their skills by visiting the text's Web site for additional problems and solutions. This publication serves both as a textbook for engineering students and as a reference for engineers and technicians who need to ensure that air pollution control equipment operates efficiently and enables their facility to meet all air pollution control standards and regulations.
