Summary
Summary
Professionals in the chemical industry are spending increasing amounts of time and money studying the effect of toxic chemicals on human health and developing technology to control occupational health hazards. Most of the literature on the design and operation of this technology has been widely scattered in government reports and company files. This book brings together complete descriptions of engineering systems for controlling chemical emissions. It offers comprehensive coverage of equipment and operating procedures and provides a basis for recommending worker exposure controls in areas regulated by EPA as well as in areas that are not subject to regulation. Coverage includes detailed treatments of sewer and drainage emissions, their potential hazards and the design of systems for their control; mechanical installation and auxiliary equipment for a variety of emission control systems; five tests for valve packings and gaskets, plus a discussion of test failure implications; and descriptions of seals, packings, samplers, and related regulatory requirements.
