Designing for Air Pollution Control

This paper was one of several presented at the Workshop on Air Pollution Control in Portland, Oregon, on May 6, 1968. The Workshop was sponsored by the Manufacturing Chemists Association and the Chemical Industry Council of the Pacific Northwest in cooperation with the Association of Oregon Industries, Association of Washington Industries, and the Environmental Committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. While many of the papers were of localized interest, this paper speaks to anyone designing air pollution control systems.

Environmental Engineering Intersociety Board

In the early Fifties, sanitary engineering professional development activities were being undertaken principally by the Joint Committee for the Advancement of Sanitary Engineering. This Committee had representation from a number of organizations whose membership included sanitary engineers. Over the years, this group had been giving thought to expanding its activities to include greater recognition for the sanitary engineer. The result was the creation of the American Sanitary Engineering Intersociety Board in 1955, with the societies supporting the Joint Committee becoming the initial sponsoring organizations: American Public Health Association; American Society for Engineering Education; American Society of Civil Engineers; American Water Works Association; Water Pollution Control Federation.     

Removal of Exhaust Odors from Solvent Extraction Operation by Activated Charcoal Adsorption

This report, published as Technical Data Sheet No. 1 of the Air Pollution Control Association’s TA-7 Odor and Gas Treatment Committee, has been in the 14 step approval procedure of APCA’s Technical Council and Board of Directors for over two years. The Committee is attempting a new departure in this report which would be reflected in future reports. It has attempted to write a brief summary of a typical case history in a concise fashion on one sheet. Comments made by members of the Technical Council and Board of Directors were considered in the preparation of the final report. It is now published as representing the “best thinking of the Association.”
