Air Pollution control Equipments
by Gyan Anjaly engineerAir
pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulates, biological
materials, or other harmful materials into the Earth's atmosphere, possibly causing disease, death to humans, damage to
other living organisms such as food crops, or the natural or built
environment. The atmosphere is a complex
natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone
depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat
to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems.

The
following items are commonly used as pollution control devices by industry or
transportation devices. They can either destroy contaminants or remove them from an exhaust stream
before it is emitted into the atmosphere.
·
Particulate control
·
Mechanical collectors (dust
cyclones, multicyclones)
·
Electrostatic precipitators An electrostatic precipitator (ESP),
or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate collection device that removes
particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using the force of an induced
electrostatic charge. Electrostatic precipitators are highly efficient
filtration devices that minimally impede the flow of gases through the device,
and can easily remove fine particulates such as dust and smoke from the air
stream.
·
Baghouses Designed to handle heavy dust loads, a
dust collector consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and
a dust receptacle or dust removal system (distinguished from air cleaners which
utilize disposable filters to remove the dust).

Particulate scrubbers Wet scrubber is a form of pollution
control technology. The term describes a variety of devices that use pollutants
from a furnace flue gas or from other gas streams. In a wet scrubber, the
polluted gas stream is brought into contact with the scrubbing liquid, by
spraying it with the liquid, by forcing it through a pool of liquid, or by some
other contact method, so as to remove the pollutants.
