The NST/Engineers, Inc. reviewers found that the authors, Kenneth Schifftner, Product/District Manager for Bionomics Industries, and Howard Hesketh, Professor of Engineering (Retired), Air Pollution Control, at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, have provided a most useful resource to the pollution control community. Mr. Schifftner is the patentee of a scrubber with unusual capabilities, the Catenary Grid ®, also described in the book. The reviewers, having successfully applied that scrubber design to a high solids-loading, toxic, plant exhaust stream in one case, and to a toxic plant exhaust stream, in an urban setting near a school, can attest to the soundness of the application principles described in the book.

The authors have demonstrated again in this second edition the practical value of their more than fifty-year experience in wet scrubber research, development, and plant installations. They cover every important type of wet scrubber for industrial and municipal applications. Practical considerations are highlighted throughout. As an example, they describe twenty-three considerations for successful gas absorption in liquid streams. Provision of design methods, reference data, and typical calculations lead users to the proper choices for scrubbing equipment and the auxiliary systems for the wide range of gaseous, misty, and particulate-loaded conditions that all pollution control practitioners face.

I worked for a year designing/specifying/sizing wet scrubbers, and this book was open on my desk the whole time. It's fantastic.

The book "Wet Scrubbers", takes you through all the how, why and when's and answers all questions from the basic to the detailed. Great book for reference for the engineer, trainer, and or process operator.

I found the book useful for a calculation I was doing. It was simple and easy to use and suited the purpose.
