2.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of Discussion but Few Measures,
By Christine Couch (Simsbury, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Water Treatment Essentials for Boiler Plant Operation (Hardcover)
First, I have returned this book. I did not completely read it, but rather skimmed through and was disappointed with my findings. It is pitched at a comparatively elementary level, not the quantitative measures of benefit to a process engineer. In general the teaching presented, which appeared to be little, was inconsistent with the content implied by the title.
