Design and Sizing of Baghouse Dust Collectors
Author: Anuj BhatiaPublisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Baghouse filters are commonly used to capture dust and other airborne particulates from industrial processes such as cement, metal, chemical, pharmaceutical, printing, woodworking, food processing, and construction. Industry-specific state OSHA rules and the EPA regulations mandate that businesses adhere to strict indoor air quality requirements and limit dust, smoke, and fume emissions into the atmosphere. By far the most prevalent type of air pollution control equipment is the baghouse type dust collector that serves a critical role in helping companies meet these criteria and improve both interior and outdoor environments by capturing a large percentage of particles generated by industrial operations. Many aspects must be considered while designing an industrial baghouse, including space constraints, cleaning methods, fabric construction, air-to-cloth ratio, and many construction features like inlet position, hopper design, and dust discharge mechanisms. This 6-hour e-book will go through the most important elements to consider when choosing the best dust collector for your application.
Dust Control Handbook for Industrial Minerals Mining and Processing
Author: Andrew B. Andrew B. CecalaPublisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781511722186
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Throughout the mining and processing of minerals, the mined ore undergoes a number of crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, and product sizing operations as it is processed into a marketable commodity. These operations are highly mechanized, and both individually and collectively these processes can generate large amounts of dust. If control technologies are inadequate, hazardous levels of respirable dust may be liberated into the work environment, potentially exposing workers. Accordingly, federal regulations are in place to limit the respirable dust exposure of mine workers. Engineering controls are implemented in mining operations in an effort to reduce dust generation and limit worker exposure.

Category : Dust control
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
"Woodworkers often get in trouble with their families for messy sawdust. Worse, wood dust has been shown to be a grave health hazard....Proper dust collection can prevent or minimize...these problems. Peters shows the types of protective equipment and dust collectors available and provides instructions on designing a collection system. Every woodworking collection should include this title."
The Safety Relief Valve Handbook
Author: Marc HellemansPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080961185
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
The Safety Valve Handbook is a professional reference for design, process, instrumentation, plant and maintenance engineers who work with fluid flow and transportation systems in the process industries, which covers the chemical, oil and gas, water, paper and pulp, food and bio products and energy sectors. It meets the need of engineers who have responsibilities for specifying, installing, inspecting or maintaining safety valves and flow control systems. It will also be an important reference for process safety and loss prevention engineers, environmental engineers, and plant and process designers who need to understand the operation of safety valves in a wider equipment or plant design context. No other publication is dedicated to safety valves or to the extensive codes and standards that govern their installation and use. A single source means users save time in searching for specific information about safety valves The Safety Valve Handbook contains all of the vital technical and standards information relating to safety valves used in the process industry for positive pressure applications. Explains technical issues of safety valve operation in detail, including identification of benefits and pitfalls of current valve technologies Enables informed and creative decision making in the selection and use of safety valves The Handbook is unique in addressing both US and European codes:- covers all devices subject to the ASME VIII and European PED (pressure equipment directive) codes;- covers the safety valve recommendations of the API (American Petroleum Institute);- covers the safety valve recommendations of the European Normalisation Committees;- covers the latest NACE and ATEX codes;- enables readers to interpret and understand codes in practice Extensive and detailed illustrations and graphics provide clear guidance and explanation of technical material, in order to help users of a wide range of experience and background (as those in this field tend to have) to understand these devices and their applications Covers calculating valves for two-phase flow according to the new Omega 9 method and highlights the safety difference between this and the traditional method Covers selection and new testing method for cryogenic applications (LNG) for which there are currently no codes available and which is a booming industry worldwide Provides full explanation of the principles of different valve types available on the market, providing a selection guide for safety of the process and economic cost Extensive glossary and terminology to aid readers’ ability to understand documentation, literature, maintenance and operating manuals Accompanying website provides an online valve selection and codes guide.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon.”—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • The New York Times Book Review • Time • NPR • The Economist • The Paris Review • Toronto Star • GQ • The Times Literary Supplement • The New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation. An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation—today’s. LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD “The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet.”—Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times “Riveting. . . . Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells’s outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too.”—The Economist “Potent and evocative. . . . Wallace-Wells has resolved to offer something other than the standard narrative of climate change. . . . He avoids the ‘eerily banal language of climatology’ in favor of lush, rolling prose.”—Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “The book has potential to be this generation’s Silent Spring.”—The Washington Post “The Uninhabitable Earth, which has become a best seller, taps into the underlying emotion of the day: fear. . . . I encourage people to read this book.”—Alan Weisman, The New York Review of Books
