TRENHOLM, A. R. AND J. M. ELION. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY VERIFICATION FOR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES: FINAL REPORT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-07/098, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
final report for cooperative venture
Description:
The technical objective of the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program's Air Pollution Control Technology (APCT) Center is to verify environmental technology performance by obtaining objective quality-assured data, thus providing potential purchasers and permitters with an independent credible assessment. A Stakeholders Advisory Committee, composed of a highly qualified core group with a wide range of perspectives and collective experience, provided guidance and input on the factors used to evaluate candidate technologies. As a priority pollutant, particulate matter was of great interest, and the APCT Center focused on technology areas that would have the most impact on reducing these emissions. Verification of baghouse filtration products continued because of the increasing interest in high efficiency for small particle sizes. Verification of retrofit technologies for mobile sources and dust suppressants continued because mobile sources and fugitive dust emissions are primary sources of particulate matter. Under this agreement, the center produced 12 verification reports which were placed on the ETV web site. This report covers the period Sept. 15, 2001 to Sept. 14, 2004, and the work is continuing under a separate cooperative agreement.
