Description:
The report summarizes results of research, development, and support tasks performed during the 3-year period. 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 number of smaller tasks, involving lower levels of effort, are also discussed. The appendix lists technical documents published under the contract.
