Particulate emissions controls

A DRE of 94.99 percent was reported. The flue gases were cooled in a heat exchanger prior to entering a baghouse for particulate emissions control. 

Entrainment of particulate materials is reduced, which lessens the need for particulate emission control equipment. 

For basic filter material development wall scale models especially the MicroFlowS approach can be applied. During early development of particulate emission control systems single channel models provide a fast and sufficient means for basic DPF design and sizing analysis. In addition, when applicable...

Particle Emission Control Equipment The four most common methods of particulate emissions control are as follows ... 

Sintering machines prepare large nodules (lumps) from beneficiated iron ore fines, and iron oxide containing dusts recycled from particulate emission control equipment. It is estimated that uncontrolled operation would discharge particulate at the rate of about 0.3% of the mass of sinter produced, or about 2,700 kg from a machine producing 900 tonnes of sinter per day. Cyclones can decrease the particulate emission to about one-quarter of these levels. It is also possible to use the sintering machine as a roaster to enable sulfur removal from sulfur-containing iron ores. This produces a more amenable ore, but it also produces sulfur dioxide in the waste gas stream. No emission-rate data for sulfur dioxide in sinter plant exhaust gas is available, since this has not normally been recovered. However, a mathematical model which enables estimation has been described [13]. 

Nalt build-up will particularly affect coastal mills, which use tidewater transport and storage of logs, particularly when good particulate emission control is in place (see text). 

Monolithic diesel particulate filters (DPF) are widely used in diesel particulate emission control. They consist of many parallel channels which are alternately plugged at either end in order to force the exhaust gases through the porous ceramic walls. The particulates are deposited on the inside wall of the inlet channel to form a thin, porous soot bed. Once a sufficient mass of particulates is collected, it is burned off to regenerate the filter. Thus, in order to achieve a successful regeneration, the DPF should operate in the thermal runaway region. 

There is now a larger range of potential gaseous and particulate emission control options, based on the use of catalytic, trapping and adsorption technologies, than at any time in the past.

In commercial drying of the biomass, the emission control technologies vary with the emission forms. For the particulate emission control (solid), filters, bag house filters, and multistage cyclones are commonly used. The filter is suitable for a gas capacity of 140-2000 m min . Liquid scrubbing is commonly used for treatment of gas emissions by using liquid solvent to absorb particular gas component(s). In this... 

Particulate emission control equipment applicable to dryers in soda ash plants includes cyclones, wet scrubbers, ESPs, and baghouses. Venturi scrubbers are used to control emissions from rotary steam tube dryers. Cyclones in series with venturi scrubbers are used to control emissions from fluid-bed steam tube dryers. Both venturi scrubbers and ESPs have been used to control emissions from gas-fired dryers. However, the use of ESPs or baghouses can result in operation problems because of the high humidity of the dryer exit gas and the fact that the collected soda ash particles are quite soluble and hygroscopic. This wet, sticky dust adheres to the electrodes and hoppers of the ESP or blinds and cakes the fabrics in the baghouse. Controlled emission factors of total PM from rotary soda ash dryers and fluid-bed soda ash dryers are 0.25 and 0.019 kg/mg of product, respectively [85]. 

Early days of pollution control aimed principally at smoke abatement, that is, particulate emission control. For installations using solid fuels, it was often necessary to change to more expensive gaseous or liquid fuels, which later were less expensive. As better designs evolved to reduce particulates, users benefited because more complete combustion was achieved. 

Indicates population exposures to large particles. Provides some correlation with 24-hour filter sampling and population exposure in places where particulate emission controls are poor. Difficult to relate to health effects.
