Pollution Control Practice Test: Air Pollution Control Methods and Equipment — Flashcards

Air Pollution Control Methods and Equipment topics include: Air pollution source correction methods, particulate emission control, gravitational settling chambers, cyclone separators, fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators, wet scrubbers, particulate collectors selection and gaseous emissions control.

Air pollution control equipment uses devices and systems to prevent or reduce the release of harmful pollutants into the air. 

Here are some examples of air pollution control equipment:
Fabric filters: Remove particulate matter from a gas stream by passing dirty air through a layer of cloth.
Wet scrubbers: Remove pollutants from industrial exhaust gases by introducing a scrubbing liquid, usually water, into the exhaust stream.
Catalytic reactors: Remove NOx emissions by reacting injected ammonia with NOx compounds in industrial emissions.
Gravity settling chambers: Reduce pollution without affecting energy consumption.
Air filters: Collect and remove dry particles and pollutants from air flowing through them, such as dust, chemicals, microorganisms, and so on.
