Analysis Design Construction Operation I.P.C.l.'s basic approach to industrial waste control is evaluation of waste quantities a n d characteristics, reduction of waste through inplant changes, formulation of treatment requirements a n d determination of optimum system for disposal or utilization. The full scope of disposal methods are employed by I.P.C.I. in the design, construction a n d operation of pollution control systems through sub-surface disposal wells, chemical treatment, landfill, incineration, biological treatment a n d c o m b i n a t i o n s of these methods.

CLEAN COOL.ABSORB
ww
gases for Industrial Air Pollution Control Impinjet Wet Scrubbers provide a simple, highly effective way to simultaneously clean, cool and absorb gas stream contaminants. The secret is in our scrubber’s perforated plate design which uses a unique impingement baffle above each individual hole. Jet-swirl interaction of gas and liquid create tiny high-velocity droplets that thoroughly scrub even the dirtiest process streams. What’s more, this combination of minute droplets and high relative velocity permits using low pressure drop across the scrubber. You receive not only high scrubbing efficiency but use less power to achieve it. This cuts operating costs to a minimum. For an efficient solution to a wide range of everyday industrial air pollution problems, call your Sly Field Engineering Representative. Or-contact our factory direct. And when you do, ask for Scrubber catalog 151.

Prepared by the Ad Hoc Interagency Working Group for Earthquake Research of the Federal Council for Science and Technology, the report presents the group’s recommendations and findings regarding the problem of earthquakes in the U.S. All aspects of a national program are discussed, including the roles of universities and industry, evaluation of existing programs, the proposed program itself, and manpower requirements.
Solid Waste Research and Development 11. Engineering Foundation, 345 E. 47th St., New York, N.Y. 10017. 1968. $4.00, paper. More than 125 scientists and others engaged in solid waste research, training, and demonstration projects assembled for the Engineering Foundation Research Conference, held July 32-26, 1968, Beaver Dam. Wis. For the conference, preprints on solid waste projects were gathered into a book. The publication has two main sections, the conference program and the conference preprints, covering such subject areas as solid waste management; sanitary landfill: incineration: computer applications and new handling techniques; farm wastes, agricultural wastes, and composting: and municipal refuse studies.
