Abstract
ABSTRACT
The control of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) from industrial processes can be accomplished in various ways. Control technologies abound and seemingly offer the answer to all emission problems. The overall effectiveness of the control is measured in removal efficiency of the contaminant as well as the economic and operational impacts the control will have on the facility as a whole. When selecting a control technology, careful consideration must be given to the characteristics of the emission. These characteristic include not only the emission's chemical composition but also operational fluctuations in flow, pressure and temperature. Selection of the proper control technology for a given emission comes as the result of combing a thorough understanding of the technology with a defined operational profile of the process emission.
