Pollution Control Devices

0 Min Read 28 March, 2024

Pollution control devices are devices that work to prevent a diversity of pollutants, both gaseous and solid, from inflowing into the atmosphere, chiefly out of industrial smokestacks.

These control devices can be divided into two comprehensive categories – devices that regulate and control the amount of particulate matter escaping into the atmosphere and others that regulate acidic gas emissions.

It is significant to comprehend that the extraction approaches for every type of pollutant can differ. Even though complex, these devices have proved to be highly operative in the past, with the levels of emissions for several pollutants dropping with the enablement of these pollution control devices.

• Electrostatic Precipitators
• Cyclone Separatorst
• Fabric Filters
• Scrubbers
• Incineration
• Carbon Capture

Precise machinery is leveraged to eradicate particulate matter from flue gases. This separation utilizes physical means of parting and not chemical parting techniques, basically as particulate matter is sufficiently large to be “caught” in these approaches.

More penetrating chemical ways of separation are generally vital to detach polluting gases from the flue gas. Nevertheless, this extraction is significant as many acidic gases in flue gas led to acid rain.
