ABSTRACT

The purpose of this chapter is to alert the interested reader about the potential effects on pollutant emissions of the combustion processes in the petrochemical and hydrocarbon industries. There continues to be increasing interest in reducing pollutant emissions of all types from all combustion processes. One prognosticator predicts this will continue well into the future.1 These pollutants have deleterious effects on both the environment and on the health of humans and animals.
