Flue Gas Particulate Control - Power plants and factories use ESPs to reduce particulate emissions, ensuring compliance with EPA regulations.

Flue gas particulate control is a specialized and critical function within the US industrial sector, particularly for facilities that combust fossil fuels or biomass. Flue gas, the exhaust from combustion processes, contains fine particulates, SO2, NOx, and toxic metals like mercury. ESPs are a primary technology for particulate control, often situated as the first stage in a multi-pollutant treatment train, followed by SO2 and NOx removal systems (like wet scrubbers or SCR).

US regulations, notably the Clean Air Act and associated programs, strictly limit particulate emissions, making high-efficiency devices like ESPs or baghouses essential for operational compliance in industries like power generation and cement manufacturing.

FAQ:

What is flue gas particulate control?
It is the process of removing solid particulate matter (like ash) from the exhaust gases (flue gas) produced by industrial combustion sources before they are released into the atmosphere.

Where do ESPs typically fit in the flue gas treatment process?
ESPs are often the first step in a treatment train, primarily tasked with removing the bulk of the ash and particulate matter before the gas moves on to systems for SO2 and NOx removal.

What US regulations govern this area?
Regulations under the US Clean Air Act, including programs like the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), set strict limits on the emission of particulates and other pollutants from industrial sources.
