“Air Pollution Control Equipment Design” Winter 2010
Tu Th 10:30-12:20pm, More 221
Instructor: Dr. Michael J. Pilat, Professor of Civil
Engineering,
mpilat@u.washington.edu
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.
