Abstract

A gas cleaning installation performs one or more of the following functions: Maintains compliance of an industrial process with the laws or regulations for air pollution, Reduces nuisance or physical damage from contaminants to individuals, equipment, products, or adjacent properties, Prepares cleaned gases for processes, Reclaims usable materials, heat, or energy and Reduces fire, explosion, or other hazards. Equipment that removes particulate matter from a gas stream may also remove or create some gaseous contaminants; on the other hand, equipment that is primarily intended for removal of gaseous pollutants might also remove or create objectionable particulate matter to some degree. In all cases, gas-cleaning equipment changes the process stream, and it is therefore essential that the engineer evaluate the consequences of those changes to the plant’s overall operation.
