Design of Thermal Oxidation Systems for Volatile Organic Compounds

Covering thermal oxidation design standards from the basics to the advanced, Design of Thermal Oxidation Systems for Volatile Organic Compounds contains in a single reference all the information needed for developing a thermal oxidation design. It covers design, operation, and maintenance as well as the principles behind the classification of volatile organic compounds as hazardous waste. The book provides: practical, complete, and concise thermal oxidizer design principles; an outline of design principles; a practical rather than theoretical approach; and real industrial examples in each chapter.
