Description:
This manual is a revision of the first (1986) edition of the Handbook: Control Technologies for Hazardous Air Pollutants, which incorporated information from numerous sources into a single, self-contained reference source focusing on the design and cost of VOC and particulate control techniques. However, many of the references used in the 1986 version were published in the mid-to-late 1970’s, meaning some information in the first edition is somewhat dated. This is particularly true for the cost data presented in Chapter 5 which were based on 1977 data. Since the time, a great deal of design and cost information on selected control techniques has been published, and EPA concluded that this more recent information should be incorporated into a revised manual. This revision has been undertaken to incorporate more recent design and cost information where applicable, while adhering to the original focus and intent of the 1986 manual. The objective of this revised manual is described and the reader is introduced to its overall organization in the following paragraphs. A corresponding computer program (HAP PRO, Version 1.0), which performs the necessary calculations from user input data, is also available.
