 Scope of Publication A reference work for process designers and users of decanters, this book aims to bridge the information gap in this field - that between academic theory promoted in student textbooks and case study data in manufacturers sales literature. <P>Design It includes information on design and specification, preparing the reader to select and correctly size equipment. <P>Purchase As a design or project engineer working with vendors to make final equipment selection, this work provides the readers with the full facts before they start talking to product vendors. <P>Supply In an environment of industry consolidation, the handbook allows you to track suppliers old and new, providing a basis on which users can find the new relevant company for the parts/service he/she wishes to purchase. <P>Operation Once an equipment purchase is made, the user needs to be made aware of how to optimally operate decanters. The <IT>Decanter Centrifuge Handbook</IT> covers relevant (process) operating issues such as instrumentation and control and the use of flocculents
