Choice Review
This health and environmentally friendly design manual for industrial practitioners and government research agencies begins with a chapter on occupational health hazards and exposure and continues with a discussion of regulations and emission requirements. Chapters 7-14 discuss specific process equipment from valves to liquid storage facilities. It is here that the book has a very current validity for process equipment selection. The advantages of various materials for individual pieces of equipment (e.g., gaskets, seals) and designs, such as for waste fluid handling, are presented in a detailed and readable fashion. An introduction to exposure assessment in the final chapter includes the fundamentals of modeling. There is a useful glossary, and the appendix to chapter 9 contains a complete list of volatile hazardous air pollutants produced in the US, together with their Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers. The strength of the book is its ability to integrate regulations with design options. A valuable introductory work for chemical engineering students as well as a useful reference manual for process engineers. Upper-division undergraduate through professional. D.
