Designing The Coal Preparation Plant Of The Future Arnold Barbara J Klima by Arnold, Barbara J.; Klima, Mark S.; Bethell, Peter J. (eds.) 9781613440902, 1613440901 instant download after payment.

Most books on coal preparation focus on theory or day-to-day issues and operations. This book provides a unique, thought-provoking look at the industry from a point of view of the preparation plant designer or engineer. This book covers how to design more efficient plants and what will plants look like in the future, what are the new techniques for designing plant layouts, monitoring performance, and building in preventive maintenance, and what challenges face the industry and how can operators capitalize on opportunities to maximize yield, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. The 15 informative, meticulously researched chapters provide a compelling road map of where we've been and where we need to go, what we're doing today, and most importantly, how we can do it better. Internationally respected experts address these and other issues, offering cutting edge insights and compelling case histories from industry leaders throughout the world. Generously illustrated with photos and diagrams, this book is a "big picture", yet practical, how-to resource for practitioners, students, and faculty.
