Improving the treatment and recovery of domestic and industrial waste is one of the main objectives of the Grenelle Environment Forum. New regulations require the most efficient technologies to be put in place. Les polluants et les techniques d'épuration des fumées (Pollutants and flue gas cleaning techniques) is part of this programme. In this second, updated edition, the book is enriched with the latest technological data to comply with this regulatory framework.
Understanding pollutants for better control
The first part of the book sets out, in the form of fact sheets, the
characteristics and impacts of the various gaseous and particulate pollutants
generated by incineration. The formation processes are detailed, as are the
emission limits currently authorised in France and Europe. The methods used to
measure and analyse pollutants are highlighted, enabling the reader to fully
understand the physical limits of pollutant monitoring. After a review of the different combustion technologies currently in use, the
book details all the downstream pollutant abatement technologies available or
under development, their operating principles for each of the pollutants
identified, and the equipment manufacturers who are potential suppliers in this
industrial sector. The purification performance of the
various processes is systematically reported, in relation to their operating
costs, in terms of consumption of reagents or elimination of the by-products of
abatement reactions. An almost exhaustive summary of the
subject, with a specialised bibliography, this book is a must for many users:
industrialists, safety and environment managers at production plants, managers
and designers of waste treatment centres, air and environmental quality control
agencies, representatives of associations and local authorities, teachers and
students at engineering schools and universities (process engineering,
environmental management).
