Back Cover

Filters and Filtration Handbook, 6th Edition builds on the success of its predecessor, collecting in one place all of the information you will need to select the appropriate filters and filtration methods. Filtration for the separation of solid and fluids is a critical process in the production of chemicals, food, beverage, oil and gas, power and minerals. Removal of contaminants for the delivery of clean air, water, fuels and lubricants plays a vital role in the protection of people, processes, equipment and the environment. This book serves to provide a comprehensive source of information on filters and filtration processes. Topics covered in detail include filter media, filtration equipment, other separation equipment and processes, solid/liquid separation applications, gas cleaning processes, filter selection and troubleshooting. Filters and Filtration Handbook, 6th Edition, remains an essential reference for those engineers and managers working in production processes, research and development or plant design and engineering, who need guidance on the filtration equipment available and its suitability for a given situation.
