Combustion Recovery

Anyone involved in improving combustion efficiency will find the ninety-three combustion efficiency tables contained in this reference a valuable, time-saving tool. Published here for the first time, the tables are based on the ASME/ANSI Power Test Code 4.1, and are designed to systematically illustrate how different variables impact the combustion process. The vast amount of information presented is conveniently organized for easy reference, so that the user can quickly locate the information which pertains to the type of fuel, or type of boiler he is dealing with.

Covering each aspect of an incineration facility, from contaminant receipt and storage to stack discharge and dispersion, this reference explores the operation and evaluation of incineration systems for hazardous and non-hazardous gaseous, liquid, sludge, and solid wastes. Highlighting breakthroughs in air pollution control, the book discusses advances in materials handling, waste processing, refractory and materials engineering, combustion technology, and energy recovery to reduce and control toxins and pollutants in the environment. It includes a disk containing spreadsheets for practical analyses of waste characteristics and combustion systems.

This chapter contains a thorough coverage of in situ combustion (ISC) as an enhanced oil recovery method, describing its complex aspects in a simple and practical manner. It is the first really international treatise of the subject as the international experience was carefully put together.
