B&W Marketing Editor and Steam Editor-in-Chief Greg Tomei noted, “This new edition is the culmination of countless hours and dedication from the B&W employees who willingly share their knowledge and expertise with so many in the industries that we serve. Working alongside these professionals proved immensely satisfying.”
Steam features 53 chapters spanning more than 1,200 pages, complete with technical descriptions and applications of the major processes involved in the steam generation cycles and emissions control, as well as numerous useful tables and charts for engineers, a summary of codes and standards, and a comprehensive index.
