Even though that list was relatively short, a surprisingly large number of companies had come and gone or changed their names through mergers or acquisitions. This book originates from Screening Equipment Handbook, first published in 1988, whose glossary contains a list of screening-related trademarks and brand names along with their company affiliation.
This confusion is compounded by the fact that many terms contain similar prefixes (e.g., bio-, enviro-, hydra-, hydro-, etc.) and it is often difficult to tell them apart. Many of these commercial terms for proprietary products or processes are so common or descriptive that they have fallen into general use. The most unique feature of this book is the inclusion of more than 3000 trademarks and brand names. More than 8000 terms, acronyms, and abbreviations applying to wastewater, potable water, industrial water treatment, seawater desalination, air pollution, incineration, and hazardous waste remediation have been defined. Preface This book has been written to help professionals, students, and lay people identify the increasing number of terms in the fields of environmental engineering and science.
