Abstract
The concept investigated in this report stems from an attempt to develop less expensive means of air pollution control. This concept is the centralization of pollution control by having the polluted effluents from individual plants come to a centralized treatment facility. The reasoning behind this concept is that one large piece of control equipment would cost less per unit amount of gas treated than would several small units. If implemented, the centralized concept would provide a system whereby all polluted gaseous effluents could be discharged, untreated, to a system of manifolds which would permit the gases to be pumped to the centralized treatment facility. At the centralized facility, the total mixed polluted gases would be purified and discharged to the atmosphere. The purpose of the present study is to present the results of a preliminary feasibility study of the centralized air-pollution-abatement concept.
