Description:
The report gives highlights of EPA's flux force/condensation (FF/C) program, a system that involves the use of water vapor condensation effects to enhance fine particle collection. FF/C scrubbing offers significant cost advantages over conventional control equipment for a large number of industrial sources. Generally, it is attractive when high removal efficiencies are required for fine particles, when flue gas enthalpy is sufficiently high, or when spent steam is available. EPA's fine particle scrubber program has been instrumental in identifying, understanding, and quantifying flux force and condensation effects in wet scrubbers. EPA also has taken a leading role in developing and demonstrating FF/C scrubbers for industrial applications.
