Abstract
The paper discusses advanced fine particulate control and implications toward solving multiple pollutant control problems in coal-fired boilers. Recent advances in fine particulate matter (PM) control, including wet electrostatic precipitation (ESP) and combined ESP/fabric filtration, have demonstrated advanced control of fine particles. These and other improvements in fine particle control offer intriguing routes to solving other emissions problems facing the utility industry. These include sulfates, nitrates, and metals, both solid and vapor, most of which may contribute to plume opacity and the formation of secondary particles in the atmosphere. Current and future advances in fine particle control are discussed, and their integration with other gas cleaning technology to alleviate opactity problems and reduce secondary particle formation is proposed for future development.
