Dust Collection & Pollution Control Q&A

  •   We are considering installing a venturi scrubber as a final polish on our incinerator. We are also considering electrostatic precipitation. Any thoughts on which of these methods may be better for this type application?

    An engineer will need to know more about the incineration application (hazardous waste, medical waste, solid waste, biomass?) before a case could be made for either technology. The composition of the products of combustion, the applicable emission requirements, the temperature and flow rate of the gas at the inlet are some of the information required to make an analysis of the two technologies.

    Below is a general comparison:Comparison of Air Pollution Control Technology on Incineration  Application:
