This review is from: Handbook of Environmental Engineering Calculations (Hardcover)

I found the book interesting but not useful. Your best bet is to go to the EPA website for procedures on calculations. Some of the discussion on dry scrubbers and other equipment was useful but not in a form that can be readily used for calculations or sizing.
