Study Notes
Air Pollution Control Techniques
- Air pollution control techniques include controls to reduce impacts, engineering controls, operating and management procedures, inspection and performance monitoring, contingency plans, and cleaner production.
Engineering Controls
- Types of air pollution control devices include fabric filtration, electrostatic precipitators, cyclonic separators, particulate scrubbers, ceramic filters, particulate pre-treatment systems, biofiltration, thermal oxidation, scrubbing and adsorption systems, adsorption systems, and fugitive dust control.
Fabric Filtration
- Fabric filtration is a method of air pollution control that uses fabric to filter out pollutants.
Electrostatic Precipitators
- Electrostatic precipitators use electrostatic charges to remove pollutants from the air.
Cyclonic Separators
- Cyclonic separators use centrifugal force to separate pollutants from the air.
Particulate Scrubbers
- Particulate scrubbers use a liquid to capture pollutants in the air.
Ceramic Filters
- Ceramic filters are used to remove pollutants from the air.
Particulate Pre-Treatment Systems
- Particulate pre-treatment systems are used to remove larger particles from the air before they enter a control device.
Biofiltration
- Biofiltration uses microorganisms to break down pollutants in the air.
Thermal Oxidation
- Thermal oxidation uses heat to break down pollutants in the air.
Scrubbing and Adsorption Systems
- Scrubbing and adsorption systems use a liquid or solid to capture pollutants in the air.
Adsorption Systems
- Adsorption systems use a solid to capture pollutants in the air.
Fugitive Dust Control
- Fugitive dust control methods are used to reduce the amount of dust released into the air.
Management of Fuel Burning
- Management of fuel burning includes boiler combustion efficiency testing and tuning, fuel switching, and control of NOx.
Boiler Combustion Efficiency Testing and Tuning
- Boiler combustion efficiency testing and tuning is a method of improving the efficiency of boilers.
Fuel Switching
- Fuel switching involves switching to a cleaner fuel source to reduce pollution.
Control of NOx
- Control of NOx involves reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides released into the air.
Operation and Management Plans
- Operation and management plans include contents such as bag filter units, electrostatic precipitators, cyclones and multi-cyclones.
Bag Filter Unit
- Bag filter units are used to remove pollutants from the air.
Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)
- Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) use electrostatic charges to remove pollutants from the air.
Cyclones and Multi-cyclones
- Cyclones and multi-cyclones use centrifugal force to separate pollutants from the air.
