Air Pollution Control Equipment Design Winter 2008
Tu Th 10:30-12:20pm, More 225
Instructor: Dr.
Michael J. Pilat, Professor of Civil Engineering, Adjunct Professor of Chemical
Engineering
Course Description: Design of equipment to control emissions of
air pollutants from stationary sources.
Some coverage of fundamental mechanisms and processes
of gaseous and particulate air pollutant control
equipment; control equipment for absorption and adsorption
of gaseous pollutants; control equipment such
as wet scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and fabric
filters for particulate control.
Procedures for
calculating the design and operating parameters for
air pollution control equipment. Case
studies of
actual air pollution control equipment systems
on coal fired power plants, pulp mills, aluminum reduction
plants, refuse incineration, and other processes.
