contains certain substances in
concentrations high enough and for
durations long enough to cause harm or
undesirable effects

The Benefits of Air
Pollution Control
Air pollution control helps to protect the human health: To every human on earth, health is wealth;
health is paramount for the running of our day-to-day activities, without which we would have to rely on
others to live. Air Pollution Scrubber Supplier come to help protect our health, which is very valuable.

Air pollution control helps prevent economic wastes: With air pollution control, the wastes accrued from
dead crops and bad water will be limited or stopped. Some California wine producers complained about
how their crops were polluted and customers complained that the wine had begun to taste like sulfur.
With the presence of air pollution control, economic slowdowns like this will be prevented or at least
managed to the barest minimum.

Increased worker productivity: No matter how strong the immune system is, there are times when it
fails, especially when there is excess air pollution. As pollution is controlled, workers can now work for a
longer period of time.

Helps improve indoor air quality: Air pollution control helps to secure the quality of the air inside your
house.
▪ Airborne particles can be removed from a polluted airstream by a
variety of physical processes.
▪ Common types of equipment for collecting fine particulates include
cyclones, scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and baghouse filters.
▪ Once collected, particulates adhere to each other, forming
agglomerates that can readily be removed from the equipment and
disposed of, usually in a landfill.
▪ A cyclone separator, also called a cyclonic
dust collector, is a widely used air pollution
control device that cleanses flue gases of
particulate matter before such gases exit into
the atmosphere. It's a method of collecting up
to 99% of airborne waste in an easy-to-empty
container beneath the cyclone.
▪ These devices are primarily labeled as pre-
cleaners, as they are instrumental in
removing large and abrasive particles from
flue gases, which then go through additional
filtration processes to remove fine particulate
matter. The relevance of cyclone separators
lies in the fact that they facilitate the first
step of the flue gas filtration process. The
objective of these devices is to minimize air
pollution and environmental hazards caused
by production plant exhaust.
 SCRUBBERS
▪ Scrubbers are devices to control air
pollution and used to remove some
particulates and gases from industrial
exhaust streams

▪ A scrubber works by spraying a wet

slurry of limestone into a large chamber
where the calcium in the limestone
reacts with the SO2 in the flue gas.
There are some variations in design of
scrubbers.
ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR
▪ An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) removes particles
from a gas stream by using electrical energy to
charge particles either positively or negatively. The
charged particles are then attracted to collector
plates carrying the opposite charge

▪ Electrostatic precipitator, also called electrostatic air

cleaner, a device that uses an electric charge to
remove certain impurities either solid particles or
liquid droplets—from air or other gases in
smokestacks and other flues.
▪ Baghouses utilize fabric
filter bags or pleated filters
arranged in rows and
mounted vertically in a sheet
metal housing. They are
designed to receive dusty gas
from fugitive or process
sources, capture the
particulates, and exhaust
clean air.
Gaseous criteria pollutants, as well as
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
other gaseous air toxics, are controlled by
means of three basic techniques:
absorption, adsorption, and incineration
(or combustion).
▪ is a physical or chemical process of removing a pollutant
from a gas phase media by dissolving the pollutant into a
solvent media.
Solvent media is most commonly a liquid phase but
can be a dry bulk solid in certain systems.
▪Is an air pollution control device which uses
a liquid to remove contaminants from a gas
stream. The removal process is achieved by
bringing the gas stream into contact with
the scrubbing liquid, which facilitates mass
transfer of the contaminants into the liquid.
▪ What is the Flue Gas Desulfurization
Process?
❑Flue gas desulfurization is the process
of removing Sulphur compounds from
the exhaust emissions of fossil-fueled
power stations. This is done through the
addition of absorbents, which can
remove up to 95% of the Sulphur
dioxide from the flue gas.
▪ Once-through is also known as
non-regenerable and is a
process that utilizes the
sorbent as a beneficial by-
product or disposes of it as
waste.
▪ The regenerable processes
release the sorbed Sulphur
dioxide to generate other
products such as elemental S,
H2SO4, or liquid SO2
▪ is an important means to remove
atmospheric pollutants: solid
particle dust and some organic gas
pollutants can be directly removed
by physical adsorption, and
sulfides and nitrous oxides can be
removed by chemical adsorption.
Compared with other treatment
technologies for air pollutants, the
adsorption method is cleaner,
safer, and more efficient.
VOCs and other gaseous hydrocarbon pollutants can be
eliminated via incineration, burning, or, more technically,
fast oxidation. Typically, an afterburner is used to incinerate
VOC and hydrocarbon emissions. The afterburner must
produce the right amount of turbulence, burn time, and
temperature to ensure full combustion. Typically, an
afterburner is constructed of a steel shell that is coated with
refractory material, such firebrick. The refractory lining acts
as a heat insulator and shield for the shell. Gaseous organic
pollutants can almost entirely oxidize given enough time and
high enough temperatures, with incineration efficiency
getting close to 100%.

Afterburners are employed to remove odors, eliminate

poisonous substances, or lessen the quantity of
photochemically reactive substances emitted into the
atmosphere.
▪ Utilizing energy more effectively and
reducing the combustion of fossil fuels by
employing alternative energy sources (such as
nuclear, wind, tidal, and solar power) are the
greatest ways to lower the amounts of carbon
dioxide in the air. The long-term storage of
carbon dioxide underground as well as in the
world's oceans and forests is known as carbon
sequestration. Forest growth and ocean
carbon sequestration are dependent on
natural processes. However, the loss of
forests for farming and other uses (as well as
ocean pollution) reduces natural carbon
sequestration.
