Project Summary
Proceedings: Fifth Symposium
on the Transfer and Utilization
of Particulate Control
Technology
Franklin A. Ayer
The proceedings of the Fifth Sympo-
sium on the Transfer and Utilization of Par-
ticulate Control Technology consists of
four volumes: Volume 1. Plenary, Ad-
vanced Energy Applications, Economics,
and Novel Concepts; Volume 2, Elec-
trostatic Precipitators; Volume 3, Fabric
Filters; and Volume 4, Fugitive Emissions,
Dry S02, and Operation and Maintenance.
EPA and EPRI cosponsored the sym-
posium, held in Kansas City, MO. August
27-30, 1984.
This Project Summary was developed
by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering
Research Laboratory, Research Triangle
Park, NC, to announce key findings of
research projects that an documented in
four volumes of the same title (see Pro-
ceedings ordering information at back).
Introduction
The papers in these four volumes of the
proceedings were presented at the sympo-
sium and provided the forum for research-
ers, manufacturers, users, government
agencies, educators, and students to
discuss new particulate control technolo-
gies and to share experiences of using ex-
isting technologies.
The major particulate control technolo-
gies-electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and
fabric filters (FFs) — were the primary con-
cern of the symposium. These technolo-
gies were discussed from perspectives of
economics, new technical advancements
in science and engineering, fundamentals,
applications, and operation and main-
tenance. Additional topic areas dealt with
dry S02 removal, fugitive emissions, and
novel concepts.
The symposium was conducted as a
series of parallel sessions, each contain-
ing four to six related papers. The sessions
were scheduled, however, to avoid any
conflict that might be caused by simul-
taneous sessions dealing with the same
topic. The papers, therefore, have been
divided into four volumes. Each volume
contains a set of related session topics so
as to provide reasonably ready access to
a unified technology area.
Volume 1 Papers
Volume 1 describes various aspects of
particulate control. The plenary session
was devoted to the regulatory framework
for future technology needs and the im-
pact of particulate control requirements on
utilities, the iron and steel industry, and
large and small manufacturers. Economic
comparisons of the costs of the particu-
late control devices, computerized process
control of ESPs, levelized annual revenue
requirements for electric utilities and
microcomputer models, and the impact of
proposed acid rain legislation on control
equipment were presented and discussed.
Novel particulate control technologies
covered particle charging with an electron
beam precharger and by evaporating
charged water droplets as well as the roles
of electrostatic forces in high velocity par-
ticle collection devices, hot gas fabric
filtration, and the prediction of plume
opacity from stationary sources.

Volume 3 Papers
Volume 3 describes various aspects of
fabric filtration. Practical considerations of
fabric filtration were covered in a session
that dealt with fabric screening, tension-
ing of filter bags, use of sonic horns in sav-
ing energy, and solving the pressure drop
problem. Full-scale studies were presented
in other sessions on the performance and
operating experiences of baghouse in-
stallations controlling 100 MW or larger
coal-fired boilers, use of sonic energy,
reverse gas methods, and shake/deflate
methods. In addition, papers were pre-
sented and discussed in sessions on
fundamentals/measurement techniques,
advanced concepts, and pilot-scale
studies that included presentations on the
influence of coal-specific fly ash proper-
ties on baghouse performance, the devel-
opment of woven electrode fabrics, and
electrostatic fabric filtration experiments.

Volume 4 describes various aspects of
paniculate control. The sessions on
fugitive emissions covered evaluation of
hood capture systems, air curtain
technology, and emission control and
evaluation of roadway dust, street sweep-
ing, storage piles, chemical stabilizers, and
wind screens. Two sessions were devoted
to dry S02 removal that covered topics
on modeling, pilot- and full-scale results
of fabric filter operations, novel design
concepts, startup and operating exper-
ience of reverse air fabric filtration, dry
injection systems, and the impact of acid
rain on ESP performance. Additional ses-
sions provided insights into operation and
maintenance problems and methods used
to eliminate the problems.
