As many industries are beginning to learn, pollution prevention technologies offer more than just a way to comply with regulations, or even to “do the right thing.” It also makes smart business sense. The authors of this book, both veterans of DuPont’s in-house waste reduction team, have put together a “how-to” guide for locating and implementing the best pollution prevention strategies for particular manufacturing processes. The book codifies elements of fundamental pollution prevention knowledge that are “easily understood and broadly applicable,” across a wide range of industries. At the heart of the book is what the authors call the “10-Step Method for Engineering Evaluations of Pollution Prevention Methods,” which breaks down the process to such simple steps as defining problems, setting goals, and identifying, defining, and evaluating alternative strategies.

About Kenneth L. Mulholland
Recently honored with DuPont’s Safety, Health, and Environmental Excellence Award for their work in driving pollution prevention within the company Kenneth L. Mulholland and James A. Dyer, senior consultant and senior consulting engineer, respectively, in DuPont Engineering Technology, have taught pollution-prevention techniques to more than 350 engineering professionals in the U.S. and Europe. Both have spent the past few years working on the identification, evaluation, and implementation of pollution-prevention alternatives for industrial processes. A 28-year veteran with DuPont, Mulholland has held positions in research, process development, and chemical engineering consulting. He holds a B.S. from Lehigh University and Ph.D. from the University of Kansas, both in chemical engineering, and is a registered professional engineer in Delaware. Dyer has been with DuPont for 14 years, working in project and process engineering, and process development, as well as consulting on VOC emission control technologies, economic evaluations, and aqueous electrolyte thermodynamic modeling. A registered professional engineer in Delaware, Dyer received his B.S. in chemical engineering from Drexel University, and an M.S. in civil engineering at the University of Delaware. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in environmental soil geochemistry at Delaware.
Reviews for Pollution Prevention: Methodology, Technologies and Practices
“…an instructional manual for debugging the chemical process industries…helps the chemical engineer recognize pollution prevention as nothing more than a reformulation of traditional chemical engineering problem-solving…”—Scott Butner, Senior Research Scientist, Environmental technology Division, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory “…an excellent nuts, bolts, pumps, and pipes P2 guidance test for process engineers. The engineer or manager charged with developing P2 solutions for his or her company would be well advised to consider the advice and suggestions offered by Mulholland and Dyer.”—Harry Freeman, Director, Louisiana Environmental Leadership Pollution Prevention Program
