Designing the coal preparation plant of the future

''Most books on coal preparation focus on theory or day-to-day issues and operations. Designing the Coal Preparation Plant of the Future provides a unique, thought-provoking look at the industry from a different point of view - that of the preparation plant designer or engineer.'' ''How can we design more efficient plants and what will plants look like in the future? What are the new techniques for designing plant layouts, monitoring performance, and building in preventive maintenance? What challenges face the industry and how can operators capitalize on opportunities to maximize yield, reduce costs, and improve efficiency?'' ''More than a dozen internationally respected experts address these and other issues, offering cutting-edge insights and compelling case histories from industry leaders throughout the world.'' ''Generously illustrated with photos and diagrams, Designing the Coal Preparation Plant of the Future is a ''big picture,'' yet practical, how-to resource for practitioners, students, and faculty.''--BOOK JACKET.
