Description:
The report summarizes results of research, development, and support tasks performed during the 3-year period of the contract. The tasks encompassed many aspects of particulate sampling and measurement in industrial gaseous process and effluent streams. Under this contract cascade impactors were calibrated and evaluated; novel particle sampling cyclones were designed and evaluated; technical and procedures manuals were prepared for control device evaluation and particle sampling methods; an electrostatic precipitator backup was designed for high flow rate systems; and advanced concepts in monitoring particle mass and size, using optical systems, were evaluated. A detailed examination of the results of this contract is contained in the basic report, EPA-600/1-79-114, (PB-299 213).
