Those involved in the design, operation, or maintenance of industrial boilers will find this book an invaluable source of information. First the author discusses the relationship between boilers and the generated steam. The prevention of scaling, corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and steam contamination are fully explored followed by an in-depth examination of the chemical treatments necessary to implement preventative measures. Specific types of boilers are discussed, water treatment programs and operating guidelines are outlined. Finally, step-by-step procedures are given for testing boiler water for the various contaminants. The clarity and accuracy of presentation allows this book to function as a manual as well as a text. CONTENTS: Principles of Steam Generation; Objectives in Treating Water for Boilers; Physical methods for Improving Water Quality; External Chemical Treatments; Internal Chemical Treatments; Operating Procedures; Complications in the Operation of Boilers: Analytical Methods;
Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems provides a comprehensive discussion on calcium phosphates in the diverse areas of their applications. The authors are all respected specialists in their particular fields, possessing wide knowledge and experience and able to analyze recent results and relate them to their respective areas of expertise. New information, as well as a review of current concepts, highlights the individual contributions. Due to the broad scope of the subject covered and the large number of contributions, this book is divided into three parts. Whilst each section contains a basic theme, there is a considerable overlapping of ideas and approaches. This reflects the excitement and interdisciplinary nature of investigations by researchers interested in dissimilar aspects of calcium phosphates. Considering the general interest in calcium phosphates, Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems is directed at an audience of researchers in the fields of biology, chemistry, dentistry, geology, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and medicine. It will also be useful to technology-focused researchers in industry whose investigations might be related directly or indirectly to calcium phosphates.

This was my first book and a true labor of love. I spent decades studying steam and the work of Dead Men, in both old buildings and on library shelves. I traveled the country, haunting used-book stores, looking for engineering books that held the answers to questions that nagged at me. I was obsessed with this topic, and when I finally sat to write, I poured all that I had learned into this book, and as I wrote, I tried my best to make the words sound good to you - like we were together and having a conversation. I wanted you to know what I know and I wanted you to be able to do what I can do when it comes to old steam systems. This book arrived in 1992 and has since gone though dozens of printings. We've sold it in every state as well as in foreign countries. Steam heat is everywhere there are old buildings, so why shouldn't you be the one with the answers? Dan Holohan
