Lectures

Goal

The goal of course is a review of basic design devices used in facilities whose purpose is the air pollution control. This is achieved through a review of the basic construction of apparatus for the purification of gases and review of methofdology for calculations commonly used types of these devices. In this way the student masters the skills of designing these facilities and individual devices.

Outcome

Upon completion of the course is expected that the candidate has mastered the skills related to analysis and evaluation of application of air pollution control devices for a particular purpose. The knowledge that the student acquire the specific technical solutions, selection of treatment methods and equipment enabling the understanding of basic principles essential for the design of air pollution control installations and calculation of particular devices.

Theoretical teaching

Apparatus for particulate emission reduction – Inertial and gravitational devices, centrifugal separators, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters. Apparatus for wet particulate and gas emission reduction – Spray towers, scrubbers (spray, cyclone, baffle, impigment etc), venturi scrubber. Dry, wet and semidry gas emission control – wet scrubbers, absorbers, adsorbers, packed bed absorbers, condensers. SOx, NOx and VOC control.

Practical teaching

Design of settling chambers. Design of centrifugal separators. Design of fabric filters. Design of wet scrubbers. Desing of Venturi scrubbers. Material balances of air pollution control devices. Design od apsorbers for gas cleaning. NOx removal devices. VOC removal devices. Laboratory – measurement of particulate and gas emission.

Attendance requirement

Defined by curriculum of study program/module.
