Table I. Comparison of particulate emission Description Average particulate concentration Before the control device After the control device Particulate emissions in stack gases 3 fim or smaller larger than 3 nm Oil fired boiler (mg/m 3 ) 435a 87 67.4b 19.6 All Data From 4 Coal fired boiler (mg/m 3 ) 3070 9.2 3.2 C 6.0 a Based on 80% control efficiency. b 87 X 77.5% = 67.4 mg/m 3 (after the multicyclones). C 9.2 X 35.0% = 3.2 mg/m 3 (after the electrostatic precipitator).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
