Project Summary
Third U.S./U.S.S.R.
Symposium on Particulate
Control
Jaroslaw Pekar
The primary objective of the Third
U.S./U.S.S.R. Symposium on Partic-
ulate Control, held September 10-12,
1979, in Suzdal, U.S.S.R., was to
discuss work done by U.S. and Soviet
specialists on particulate control and
measurement technology.
The two symposium co-chairmen
were: (U.S.) A. B. Craig-, Deputy Direc-
tor of the Industrial Environmental
Research Laboratory,* U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency, Research
Triangle Park, NC; and (Soviet) I. K.
Reshidov, Director of the Scientific
Research Institute of Industrial and
Sanitary Gas Cleaning (NIIOGAZ), Mos-
cow, U.S.S.R.
This Project Summary was developed
by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering
Research Laboratory, Research Triangle
Park, NC, to announce key findings of
the research project that is fully docu-
mented in a separate report of the same
title (see Project Report ordering infor-
mation at back).

pated:

The Third U.S./U.S.S.R. Symposium on
Particulate Control was sponsored by the
Particulate Control Technology Project
Group of the U.S./U.S.S.R. Stationary
Source Air Pollution Control Technology
Working Group under the U.S./U.S.S.R.
Environmental Agreement. Papers were
presented by Soviet specialists from
scientific research and design institutes
and by representatives of the U.S. Envi-
-------
ronmental Protection Agency and repre-
sentatives of the private sector.
The topics included: prediction of back
corona formation, fly ash resistivity pre-
diction, improved electrostatic precipita-
tor (ESP) mathematical model, calcula-
tion of effects of back corona in wire-duct
ESPs, study of chemical conditioning of
flue gas before an ESP on a 500 MW
power unit, sodium conditioning test with
EPA mobile ESP, fly ash dielectric proper-
ties and critical current density, improved
design for general industrial application
of precipitating electrodes for ESPs, per-
formance analysis of a hot-side ESP,
dynamics and strength of corona elec-
trodes in industrial ESPs, progress on
ESPs for use at high temperatures and
high pressures, cleaning of hot aspirated
air from sinter machines and clinker
coolers, ESP model fortheTI-59 calcula-
tor, problems of fly ash removal at electric
power stations, particle collection by
granular bed filters and dry scrubbers,
filter materials for cleaning gases and
possible areas of their application, high
temperature ceramic filters, methods and
instruments for measuring size of finely
dispersed particles less than 0.3 yum for
process gases, particle measurement in
the U.S., current trends in aerosol dis-
persion analysis, instruments for auto-
matic monitoring of particle-size distribu-
tions, methods and instruments for meas-
uring the dew point of process emissions,
and design of an improved impactor.
