Air Pollution Control Equipment and Technologies

A cyclone separator is a mechanical device that uses centrifugal force to separate particulate matter from a gas stream.

A fabric filter is a type of baghouse, not an ESP.

A catalytic converter uses a catalyst to promote the chemical conversion of unburned HC and CO into CO2 and H2O.

An electrostatic precipitator is a type of particulate matter control device, not a scrubber.

Activated carbon adsorbers are used to remove VOCs from a gas stream by adsorption.

An electrostatic precipitator is a type of particulate matter control device, not a baghouse.

Biofilters use microorganisms to remove odorous compounds from a gas stream.

SCR is used to control NOx emissions, which are not a major concern in the cement industry.

Condensers are used to remove water vapor from a gas stream by cooling the gas.

Fluidized bed combustors are used to reduce the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, but they are not considered air pollution control devices.

Flares are used to burn off excess gases from a process, such as those generated during the production of chemicals or petroleum products.

BOFs are used to produce steel, not to control air pollution.

Thermal oxidizers are used to destroy HAPs by burning them at high temperatures.

Hydrocrackers are used to convert heavy petroleum fractions into lighter products, not to control air pollution.

SCR systems use a catalyst to reduce NOx emissions by converting them into nitrogen and water.
