Equipments for collecting fine particulates in Air Pollution Control Systems

Image
There exist several physical processes using which airborne particles can be removed from a polluted airstream. A few of the most frequently used equipment for collecting fine particulates include scrubbers, cyclones, baghouse filters, and electrostatic precipitators. Once they are collected within the equipment, particulates tend to adhere to each other. Following this adhering, they form agglomerates that can be readily removed from the equipment and later disposed of, generally in a landfill. However, the air pollution control systems installed for distinct projects might differ in the way of their implementation. Therefore, it’s nearly impossible to decide in advance what is the best type of particle-collection device. Few projects may require only one kind of equipment, and others might require a combination of instruments. The bottom line is that pollution control systems are designed on a case-to-case basis. Factors that influence the selection of collection devices There...

Here’s how a compact version of Water Filter operates

All of us know water is essential for life. People working in hot climates require to drink more water, keep themselves hydrated, and control their body temperature. However, drinking foul water can bring a lot of miseries to your health as well. Therefore, the adoption of water purification systems is recommended. Here's a list of processes of how filtration of water is conducted: Activated Carbon: All these filters operate through adsorption. It's a process where gasses and liquids are attracted to other liquids or solids. After the water passes through the carbon filter, the majority of the impurities will be drawn to the spongy carbon surface, filling the broad ridges on its surface. Even though the charcoal filter is excellent at removing contaminants, among its drawbacks is that limescale can't be blocked by it. Moreover, charcoal does not attract contaminants, so germs, fluoride, sodium, and nitrates will continue to flow from water. Another drawback is that i...
