Opis

Design of Thermal Oxidation Systems for Volatile Organic Compounds pro vides all the information needed for developing a thermal oxidation de sign in a single reference. It covers design, operation, and maintenan ce as well as the principles behind the classification of volatile org anic compounds as hazardous waste. The author explores the primary pur pose of thermal oxidizers and discusses their limitations.
