Abstract |
A final report is presented which describes a study directed to the definition of two alternative five-year research and development programs based on different levels of funding for fabric filter systems used in air pollution control applications. These plans provide specific performance, to improve economics of usage, and to promote extension of fabric filtration to control of a greater number of applications. Specific tasks undertaken include: A survey of engineering technology available as data or analytical design and operation equations; the identification and investigation of current practices, limitations, and problems of fabric filter systems in present usage and in possible future applications; and a review of the major types of fabric filter equipment available.
