Practical Design Calculations for Groundwater and Soil Remediation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This new edition presents updated information on commonly used remediation technologies and more practical examples. It illustrates the engineering calculations needed for all the major phases of site remediation, starting from site assessment and remedial investigations to selection, design, and implementation of appropriate remedial technologies. It also shows readers how to estimate rates of plume migration as well as assists them in building a better understanding of mass balance, reaction kinetics and types, configuration and sizing of reactors.

Autorenporträt

Jeff (Jih-Fen) Kuo, PhD, PE worked in the environmental engineering industry for more than ten years before joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at California State University, Fullerton in 1995. His industrial experience in environmental engineering includes design and installation of air strippers, activated-carbon adsorbers, soil vapor extraction systems, bioremediation systems, and flare/catalytic incinerators for groundwater and soil remediation. Dr. Kuo earned a BS degree in chemical engineering from National Taiwan University, an MS in chemical engineering from the University of Wyoming, an MS in petroleum engineering, and an MS and a PhD in environmental engineering from the University of Southern California. He is a registered civil, chemical, and mechanical engineer in California.

Rezensionen

"This latest edition of Kuo's book covers important aspects of major design calculations as well as providing practical and relevant working information for groundwater and soil remediation. Realistic examples are used liberally to illustrate the applications of the design calculations... a comprehensive methodological and practical manual, suitable for specialists trained in a variety of technical and educational backgrounds, for the solution of very complicated groundwater and soil remediation requiring a multidisciplinary approach. ...provides practical information that addresses the current needs of practising engineers, scientists and legal experts who are employed by industry, consulting companies, law firms and regulatory agencies in the field of soil and groundwater remediation."
