Course Description
Students successfully completing this course will understand the operating principles of particulate control systems used at air pollution control sources. The scope of the course includes fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators, particulate wet scrubbers, and mechanical collectors. Introductory material concerning particle aerodynamic behavior and particle formation is provided as a basis for course materials on particulate control systems. This course provides a foundation for later courses concerning source sampling, inspection, and permit review. A scientific calculator is required for class exercises.

Major topics

• Particle formation and behavior
• Particle size distributions
• Reverse air and pulse jet fabric filters
• Electrostatic precipitators
• Particulate wet scrubbers
• Hoods and fans effect on control equipment and process emissions
• Emission testing and monitoring

Desired Background
Engineering/scientific degree or successful completion of Course RE:100 and six months of equivalent work experience.
