“…Compared to an electrostatic precipitator installation handling a 'difficult fly ash', the cost of the equivalent bag filter would be somewhat cheaper, but operating power, the maintenance of compressors and cleaning mechanisms, plus the cost of a complete media (bag filter) replacement, probably every three years or so, to ensure emission compliance, must be borne in mind and added to the overall cost comparison. Figure 3 compares the total 15-year levelized costs of various arrestment systems for a typical 250 MW power plant designed to meet an emission of 50 mg/N m 3 at 6 per cent dry oxygen (1). These indicate that, for either a reverse gas bag house or pulse jet fabric filter, the cost remains constant irrespective of the ash resistivity, i.e.…”

Particulate control equipment for the larger industrial processes, which can effectively collect particles in the submicrometre range, is limited to the electrostatic precipitator and bag filter as cost effective methods. To meet ever decreasing emission levels, demanded by the Regulatory Agencies, the equipment suppliers and academics are involved in ongoing research and development activities in order to obtain a better understanding of the collection process itself, such as to achieve improved performance and, equally importantly, plant reliability and availability.This paper reviews some of the activities in the electrical, microelectronics, material sciences, fluid flow and finite element analysis fields and indicates how the findings are leading to new designs that are more reliable and also how the improvements are making the equipment more cost effective while operating at a higher performance level.Finally, with the concern over the emission of 'air toxics', while both the electrostatic precipitator and bag filter are established technology for effectively removing solid and liquid particulates with sizings well below 1 micrometre there is now an additional requirement for collecting vapour phase materials to meet the latest regulatory emission levels. Some ideas and approaches are examined which can prove effective in collecting the majority of materials classified as 'air toxics', such that the equipment will meet the existing and possible future emission standards.

“…Given that the A/C ratio is the primary determinant of the unit size, and hence the capital and operating costs, it is desirable to operate at the highest A/C ratio that comfortably meets the performance specifications. Table 1 provides the typical values used for A/C ratio for various baghouse types based on industry experience (Belba, et al, 1992;Bustard, Cushing, & Chang, 1992;Cushing, et al, 1990;Puille, 1985;Sloat, et al, 1993).…”

“…For purposes of this analysis, a generic unit cost is used for both capital and O&M costs for installing either a baghouse or ESP. The capital cost to install a particulate control unit is estimated to be about $57/kW; the O&M cost is estimated to be about $5.9/kW per year (adapted from Shoat et al 1993). The capital cost to retrofit all eligible plants with particulate controls would be about $2.7 billion.…”

“…It is an established technology that has been used for many years in developed countries and is capable of removing more than 95% of the particulates from the exhaust gases. In utility applications, capital costs of baghouses are about $56/kW, and annual O&M costs are about $7.5/kW-yr (adapted from Shoat et al 1993). …”
