NOTE: The conical dry dust collector removes up to 80 percent by weight of
particles, 10 micrometers and over, from a gas stream and is used primarily
on general industrial dusts and occasionally to clean boiler flue gases since
it has a temperature tolerance up to 371 degrees C (700 degrees F). It is not
effective in removing gaseous pollutants or particles of 7 micrometers size
and under. Its high air friction drop may require a booster fan. It normally
is selected for pressure drops in the 890 Pa to 1652 Pa (3-1/2 to 6-1/2 inch
water) gauge range at operating conditions.
Unit shall be a mechanical collector consisting of a top horizontal involute scroll gas inlet and outlet mounted
over a vertical cylindrical shell or cone which shall have a narrow angle cone below. Unit shall be specifically
designed to impart a high velocity vortex spin to the incoming downflowing gas stream to throw particulates to

plates [are] [are not] required.
2.13.3.1 Scrolls, Cylinder, and Cone
NOTE: Delete inapplicable materials and equipment. Pipe, fitting, and valve
materials listed in this section are suitable for water service, but not for
corrosive, erosive, and some petrol services. The designer should select the

2.13.4 Multitube, Centrifugal Dry Dust Collector
NOTE: The multitube centrifugal dust collector has similar performance to the
conical dry dust collector except it removes more of both coarse and fine particulates.
This collector is often used on stoker-fired boiler applications. The pressure
drop range is normally 635 Pa to 1144 Pa (2.5 to 4.5 inches water) gauge at
operating conditions. Sixty degree hopper valley angle is considered adequate
for worse case coal/ash scenario. If designer can confirm that application
is less demanding, he should consider a lower valley angle 55 degrees or 45
degrees. In certain applications the size of the unit may require some subassembly
in the field, negating the restrictions on field assembly.
Unit shall be a mechanical collector utilizing a number of parallel vertical or horizontal tubes of small diameter
in an enclosure having a single gas inlet and single gas outlet.
2.13.4.1 Inlet Tube Assemblies, Casing and Hopper
Inlet tube assemblies shall be replaceable [cast iron] [wear resistant steel with replaceable cast iron spinner
vanes and cones] [wear resistant steel with replaceable spinner vanes and cones]. Casing shall be [3.4 mm 10

hopper. Hopper valley angle shall be 60 degrees from the horizontal. The hopper shall be provided with a poke
hole and access door. Hopper bottom outlet shall be provided with [a guillotine-type slide gate] [a gravity-type
trip gate opened by the weight of the collected material] [a manually-operated rotary lock] [a motor-driven rotary
lock]. Unit shall be provided with a welded steel support assembly for field erection with no additional work
other than setting and bolting the unit in place.
2.13.4.2 Test Connections
Pressure test connections shall be provided at the inlet and outlet ducts connecting to the collector.
2.13.5 Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
NOTE: Electrostatic precipitators are highly effective with efficiencies up
to 99.9 percent by weight in removing fine particulates down to 0.3 micrometers
in size from gas streams having light loading of material by weight. They are
frequently applied in gas streams of 371 degrees C (700 degrees F) or higher
but may require a precleaner such as a dynamic precipitator, conical, or multitube
centrifugal to bring the gas stream down to an optimum loading. They require
a relatively large space. They have a very low gas flow friction but are quite
sensitive to having a uniform distribution of gas flow through the unit. The
efficiency may sharply fall under a gas flow above design rate. Efficiency
is also affected by dust particle electrical resistivity which can be too high
or too low for maximum performance. Frequently in these situations the addition
of relatively small quantities of flue gas conditioning agents have been very
effective in improving precipitator performance. Depending on the particle
electrical resistivity level, flue gas conditioning will be considered a viable
option. Commercial systems are available for ammonia, sodium compounds (carbonate
and sulfate), and sulfur trioxide flue gas addition. Pulse energization, the
modification to a conventional precipitator power supply to include the capability
to superimpose a high voltage pulse on the base voltage, is a second enhancement
technique for high resistivity particle applications. Intermittent pulsation,
the programmed interruption of normal high voltage waveform, is another enhancement
technique. Optimization of precipitator energization and rapping systems through
the use of microprocessor-based controls results in lower power levels, reduced
electrode failure, and overall improved collection efficiency. Examples of
control schemes that can be accomplished with properly programmed microprocessors
include:
a. Spark Prediction and Advance
b. Back Corona Detection
c. Opacity Feed Back
d. Rapping Optimization
e. Electrical Power Conservation
Reentrainment of collected material can be limited by a proper balance of factors
that affect performance, such as gas velocity through the plates; uniformity
of gas velocity profile; ratio of plate height to depth; size of lumps of agglomerated
material rapped from the collecting plates and discharge electrodes; and others.
Control may also be achieved by a system of automatic programmed gas flow dampers
coordinated to operate with related rappers for sequential cleaning of each
of the chambers.
Power consumption is generally equivalent to the additional power required by
other collecting methods. The pressure drop across units is typically less
than 127 Pa (0.5 inch water) gauge. Caution should be exercised in their use
where combustible or explosive coal dusts or oil fumes may be present and could
be ignited by a "spark-over" of the high voltage across the electrodes.
Unit shall comply with requirements of ICAC EP-1, ICAC EP-7, and ICAC EP-8, and shall remove [aerosols] [and]
[particulates] from processed gas stream by impressing a polarized electrostatic charge to the contaminants causing
them to be drawn to and deposited upon opposite polarity charged plates. Unit shall contain multiple chambers
and be of gas-tight construction. Unit shall be provided with [insulator compartments] [penthouse]. Unit shall
be provided with anti-sneak baffles to force all gas flow through ionizing gas passages and to prevent gas bypassing
the precipitator sections. Assembly shall consist of discharging electrodes and opposite charged plates, high
voltage power pack and controls, a rapping system for knocking dust from the discharge electrodes and collector
plates, perforated gas distribution plates, sheet steel enclosure with dust collecting hopper bottom, dirty gas
inlet, clean gas outlet, and structural steel frame. Precipitator systems shall include microprocessor based
controls [flue gas conditioning systems] [pulse energization] [intermittent energization].
2.13.5.1 Discharge Electrodes
Discharge electrodes shall be [wires and weights] [rigid electrodes] [rigid frame]. Discharge electrodes shall
be top supported with the bottom free to expand and contract with gas stream temperature changes. Electrodes
shall be laterally restrained to maintain optimum spacing from the plates. Electrodes shall have a stiffness,
length, or restraints required to prevent vibration or flutter when the unit is in service.
2.13.5.2 Collecting Plates
Collecting plates shall consist of vertical panels of multiple steel strips hanging edgewise in the horizontal
air stream so as to form the equivalent of many vertical splits of the gas stream into many gas passages. The
strips shall be convoluted, stiffened or constructed with raised ribs, to provide sufficient stiffness to prevent
distortion of the plates and also present vertical ridges to support boundary layer edges to increase plate dust
retention. Plates shall be top supported with the bottom free to expand and contract with changes of gas stream
temperature. Plate configuration and support system design shall be coordinated with the plate rapping system
design and operation to shed collected material from the plates and to retain a consistent and optimum spacing
from the discharge electrodes.
2.13.5.3 Power Supply and Control System
Power supply and control system shall be solid state microprocessor type. Control system shall provide for continuous
monitoring and regulating of applied voltage for effective maximum performance of precipitation over the range
of plate loadings with minimum sparking and arcing to the plates. Entire system shall be provided with a system
of safety interlocks and grounding devices to prevent personnel physical contact with high voltage components.
Voltage insulators shall be provided with heaters.
2.13.5.4 Rapping Systems
The rapping systems shall consist of multiple hammers or other impact devices to cause particulate shedding from
the collecting plate. Rapping shall automatically be programmed so that a minimum number of collecting plates
and discharge electrodes are rapped simultaneously. The unit shall be designed to limit reentrainment of collected
material falling from the collecting plates and discharge electrodes during the rapping operation without exceeding
the design cleaning efficiency.
2.13.5.5 Inlet and Discharge Ducts
Inlet and discharge ducts shall be provided with turning vanes, deflectors, and baffle plates to provide for
uniform distribution of gas flow through all gas passages and in each gas passage in accordance with ICAC EP-7
. Pressure test connections shall be provided at the inlet and discharge ducts connecting to the precipitator.

The unit shall be provided with a [4.8 mm 3/16 inch] [6.4 mm 1/4 inch] [low carbon] [corrosion resistant] sloped
steel bottom dust storage hopper having the dust holding capacity indicated. The hopper shall be arranged to
prevent reentrainment of collected material into the gas stream. The hopper bottom shall be provided with rappers
or fluidizing pads and a hopper valley angle of 60 degrees and shall be free of pockets, ribs, fins, or any other
obstruction to hold or interfere with free release of collected material to the outlet. The outlet shall be
provided with [a guillotine-type slide gate] [a manually-operated rotary lock] [a motor-driven rotary lock].
The hopper shall be provided with a poke hole and gasketed access door and shall have a collected material level
indicator for [local indication] [local indication with terminals for wiring to a remote indicator]. [The level
indicator shall include a high material level audible alarm.] [The hopper shall be provided with electric heating
coils, modules, or blankets to keep collected material dry and free flowing with the unit installed outdoors
and out of service in a local winter outdoor design temperature of [_____] degrees C degrees F]. [The capacity
of the heating coil module or blanket shall be as shown.] [The heating coil module or blanket's size shall be
based on the ambient temperature of [_____] degrees C degrees F].
2.13.6 Wet Scrubber
NOTE: Select scrubber type based on efficiency required. Wet scrubbers are
used for the removal of gaseous pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides,
and other gaseous materials from boiler flue gases. Removal of sulfur oxides
(flue gas desulfurization) is covered by Paragraphs "Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization
System" and "Spray Dryer Flue Gas Desulfurization System". Wet scrubbers will
also remove fumes, mists, dusts, and smoke particles from laboratory fume hood
and welding booth exhausts. With appropriate adsorbents they can collect vapors
of paint thinners and solvents. They can handle boiler flue gases as high as
371 degrees C (700 degrees F), but impose a heavy water demand for evaporative
cooling causing a heavy water vapor plume from the chimney. This water use
also increases flue and chimney condensation and possible corrosion damage.
Those problems can be minimized with a heat exchanger with a pump and water
coils to precool the hot flue gas to the scrubber and deliver the recovered
heat to the relatively cool cleaned gas out of the scrubber, as required. Any
surplus heat can be used for other heating applications. The scrubber requires
a water and chemicals supply system with problems of slurry or sludge removal;
chemicals storage, mixing, feeding, and monitoring; and corrosion prevention
of wetted parts. Since the scrubber system is relatively costly to install
and operate, care should be exercised to limit its use to the function that
only it can perform. In addition to its primary function of removing gaseous
pollutants, it will also remove particulates. In addition to water sources
shown within brackets, there may be other sources such as recycled water from
waste treatment plant among others. Insert source within brackets and delete
the others.
Unit shall comply with ICAC G-1, ICAC WS-1, ICAC WS-3, and ICAC WS-4 as a wet scrubber for removing gases, fumes,

of water or chemical neutralizing water solution to provide for maximum scouring and pollutant removal of the
gas stream. Water demand rates of less than 0.13 L/second per cubic meter per second one gpm per 1000 cfm of
processed gases shall use [potable] [cooling tower blowdown] [_____] water with waste to drain. Water demand
in excess of the above flow rate shall provide for recirculation of the washing liquor. Unit shall be provided
with [an automatic water supply control valve,] [a float-operated water level control valve,] [a totalizing water
meter,] strainer, and water pressure gauge.
2.13.6.1 Chemical System
NOTE: Investigate user agency, facility operation, and maintenance standards
and procedures; analyze the pollution control equipment's consumption of materials;
confer with equipment suppliers; and determine the optimum time period for reserve
capacity. Select the "reserve" time period, and delete all other periods.
The above investigation will also determine if the last sentence within the
brackets should be retained or deleted.
Each unit requiring neutralizing chemical additives shall be provided with a complete automatic chemical monitoring,
control, mixing, feeding, and reserve storage system. The chemical system shall have a reserve capacity for
[[24] [36] [48] hours] [[3] [7] [10] days] of continuous scrubber operation at design conditions without requiring
servicing. [Components that must be taken out of service for routine maintenance or chemical loading shall be

provided with leak-tight viewing windows and access doors to permit appraisal of entire operation as well as
full access for all service operations or parts replacement. Vanes, baffles, deflectors, or diffuser plates
shall provide for uniform gas flow through the processing area. Scrubber shall be factory assembled, piped, and
wired on floor mounted welded steel bases as indicated.
2.13.6.3 Recirculation Pumps
NOTE: Determine if facility will require continuous operation or if it can
be shut down or if the pollution control equipment can be out of service for
extended periods. If continuous operation is required, select wording for duplicate
pumps and remove brackets.
Unit requiring recirculation of the scrubbing liquor shall be provided with [direct] electric motor centrifugal
pumps [in duplicate] to conform to HI 3.1-3.5. Pumps shall develop the system pressure head required by the scrubber.
Materials, construction, ratings, application, and testing shall conform to the standards and recommendations
of HI 3.1-3.5 for corrosion resistant operation of pumping the scrubber liquor. [A manual selector switch shall

proper alloy (e.g., stainless steel 304, 316, etc.), rubber or other elastomer
lining or plastic for these and other applications where the chemistry of the
process shall dictate material selection.
Piping materials shall be compatible with the scrubber fluids.

NOTE: Dry fabric collectors are highly effective in removing up to 99.9 percent
by weight of particulates of submicron size and larger from gas streams of more
than 229 mg per cubic meter (0.1 grain (weight) per cubic foot). Emissions
will consistently be less than 11 mg per cubic meter (0.005 grain/actual cubic
foot). Fabrics are available for gas streams up to 288 degrees C (550 degrees
F) and are often used for particulate removal from coal handling operations
and boiler flue gases. Fibre selection and fabric construction and finish are
extremely critical to the performance and service life of a dry fabric collector.
Chemical, temperature and abrasion resistance, strength, and dimensional stability
are important fibre selection considerations. Fabric weave, weight, finish,
and dimensional stability are major fabric requirements. Fabric filters can
be harmed by corrosive chemicals. It may be necessary to scrub the gas prior
to the dry fabric collector. ICAC F-2 summarizes fibre and fabric selection
parameters. The space requirement is rather large and pressure drop is typically
in the 1.02 kPa to 1.53 kPa (4 to 6 inch water) gauge range. An important consideration
is whether the processed stream can be interrupted, such as a nonproduction
type welding facility exhaust, or if it must remain in continuous operation,
such as for a base boiler plant. If the process is relatively small and the
dust loading is relatively light, or if the process is intermittent, it may
be desirable and economic to use replaceable deep pocket type or automatic moving
media type filters. If the loading is high and process must not be interrupted,
a cleanable baghouse type unit may be desired.
Unit shall be type identified by ICAC F-5 as [an unsupported tubular [unibag] [multibag] [side entry] [top entry]
type] [a supported filter element [tubular] [or] [envelope] type]. Fabric collectors shall comply with ICAC F-2
and ICAC F-3. The collector provided shall be coordinated with the boiler combustion control and safety system
so as to assure that the boilers operate within design conditions throughout entire operating range at design
capacity of the collector. The collector shall be an ICAC [standard collector, Type III, medium-to-heavy duty,
usually continuous service cleaning gases at [_____] degrees C degrees F] [special or custom-designed collector,
Type IV, heavy duty continuous service cleaning gases at [_____] degrees C degrees F].
2.13.7.1 Filter Cleaning
NOTE: In the last sentence, three filter cleaning methods are available, any
or all of which may be allowed depending upon site conditions and available
utilities. Under the present state of the art, the use of compressed air pulse
jet cleaning should be limited to systems below 142 cubic meter per second (300,000
acfm (actual cfm)). Efforts to reduce flue gas pressure drop in fabric collectors
have led to the development of more vigorous cleaning methods, in particular,
the use of sonic horns in combination with conventional air exchange cleaning
methods, such as reverse air, pulsed jet, or shake/deflate. Up to 60 percent
reduction in pressure drop has been realized using sonic horns with no deterioration
in particulate emission levels. Pressure level, frequency, power levels, and
spatial distribution of horns within the collector compartment are all important
specification criteria.
Filter element cleaning shall be automatically initiated and executed [on an adjustable programmer time cycle]
[by operation of an adjustable high filter pressure drop switch]. Cleaning shall be accomplished by powered
vibrator or shaker devices, reverse cleaned air flow with [positive] [negative] air pressure in the unit, a combination
of shaker and reverse air flow [or compressed air pulse jet cleaning]. [Filter element cleaning shall include
sonic horns.]
2.13.7.2 Filter Enclosure
Filter enclosure shall be fabricated of [4.8 mm 3/16 inch] [6.4 mm 1/4 inch] [low carbon] [corrosion resistant]
steel of welded or bolted construction or combinations thereof. Enclosure sheets shall be given supporting strength
and rigidity by folding or bending or shall be supported on supplemental structural steel shapes. Unit shall
be provided with gas inlet and outlet connections and baffles, vanes, deflectors, or low friction diffuser plates
that will insure uniform gas flow to all elements of the fabric system without causing flutter, vibration, or
erosion of the fabric. Hinged, latched, and gasketed access doors shall be provided for all parts and areas
that require inspection or service. Fabric elements shall be secured and supported by internal rings or equivalent
method so that the entire fabric surface is so deployed that gas flow and particulate collection will be uniform
over entire working surface. Dust shedding properties shall be uniform so that entire fabric surface will be
equally cleared by a cleaning operation without damage to media other than normal service wear. Media shall
be arranged in elements, sections, pockets, or tubes that can be handled, removed, replaced, and secured without
special facilities.
2.13.7.3 Collector Cleaning
Units shall be provided with means for isolating a compartment or section for cleaning while other compartments
are performing their normal dust removal function. Compartment isolation shall effectively prevent reentrainment
of the particulate during the cleaning operation. Unit rating shall be based upon operation with one section
out for cleaning. Cleaning operation shall be [operator initiated and executed by manually operating the cleaning
cycle on each compartment in sequence until all filters have been cleaned] [operator initiated to have the filters
cleaned automatically one compartment at a time until all filters have been cleaned] [automatically initiated
by an adjustable filter air pressure drop switch operating at a high pressure set point to initiate the filter
cleaning operation] [automatically initiated by a timer to initiate the filter cleaning operation]. Once started,
the cleaning operation shall progressively clean one compartment at a time until all filters are cleaned. Removal
of collected particulate shall be by discharging from a hopper below. Collector manufacturer shall provide all
of the components required for the entire cleaning operation including [manual rappers] [motorized rappers] [rotary
air valve] [manual dampers] [motorized dampers] [compressed air surge receiver] [air compressor with receiver,
motor drive, and controls] [blast or pulse jet controls, nozzles, and valves] [shaker or flutter blower, motor,
drive, and controls]. [Automatic operations shall be provided with a manual override for starting, stopping,
interrupting, and restarting operation.]

Dust collectors designed and constructed for in-place cleaning of the fabric shall be provided with a [3.4] [4.8]
[6.4] mm [10 gauge] [3/16 inch] [1/4 inch] [low carbon] [corrosion resistant] steel sloped bottom dust storage
hopper having the dust holding capacity as indicated. Collector and hopper system shall be constructed to minimize
reentrainment of collected material into the gas stream. The hopper bottom shall be provided with rappers or
fluidizing pads and shall have a hopper valley angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal and shall be free of pockets,
ribs, fins, or any other obstruction to hold or interfere with free and complete release of all collected material
to the outlet. Outlet shall be provided with [a guillotine-type slide gate] [a motor-driven rotary lock] [automatic
lock hoppers]. Hopper shall be provided with a poke hole and gasketed access door, and shall have a collected
material level indicator for [local indication] [local indication with terminals for wiring to a remote indicator].
Level indicator shall include a high material level audible alarm. [Hopper shall be provided with electric heating
coils, modules, or blankets to keep collected material dry and free flowing with the unit installed outdoors
and out of service in a local winter outdoor design temperature of [_____] degrees C degrees F].
2.13.8 Dry Fabric Collector for Dust Control
NOTE: Dry fabric collectors are highly effective in removing up to 99.9 percent
by weight of particulates of submicron size and larger from gas streams of more
than 229 mg per cubic meter (0.1 grain (weight) per cubic foot). Emissions
will consistently be less than 11 mg per cubic meter (0.005 grain/actual cubic
foot). Fabrics are available for gas streams up to 288 degrees C (550 degrees
F) and are often used for particulate removal from coal handling operations
and boiler flue gases. Fibre selection and fabric construction and finish are
extremely critical to the performance and service life of a dry fabric collector.
Chemical, temperature and abrasion resistance, strength, and dimensional stability
are important fibre selection considerations. Fabric weave, weight, finish,
and dimensional stability are major fabric requirements. Fabric filters can
be harmed by corrosive chemicals. It may be necessary to scrub the gas prior
to the dry fabric collector. ICAC F-2 summarizes fibre and fabric selection
parameters. The space requirement is rather large and pressure drop is typically
in the 1.02 kPa to 1.53 kPa (4 to 6 inch water) gauge range. An important consideration
is whether the processed stream can be interrupted, such as a nonproduction
type welding facility exhaust, or if it must remain in continuous operation,
such as for a base boiler plant. If the process is relatively small and the
dust loading is relatively light, or if the process is intermittent, it may
be desirable and economic to use replaceable deep pocket type or automatic moving
media type filters. If the loading is high and process must not be interrupted,
a cleanable baghouse type unit may be desired.
Unit shall be type identified by ICAC F-5 as [an unsupported tubular [unibag] [multibag] [side entry] [top entry]
type.] [a supported filter element [tubular] [or] [envelope] type.] Fabric collector shall comply with ICAC F-2
and ICAC F-3. The collector shall be an ICAC EP-1 [unit, Type I, for light duty, intermittent service cleaning

collector, Type III, for medium to heavy duty 260 degrees C 500 degrees F] [special or custom designed collector,
Type IV, heavy duty continuous service cleaning gases at [_____] degrees C degrees F].
2.13.8.1 Filter Cleaning
NOTE: The choice of filter cleaning methods should be based on site conditions,
available utilities, and operational requirements. For example, dust control
of coal bunkering is usually intermittent as related to arrival of coal transporters
and does not warrant a fully automatic continuous operation facility. Under
the present state-of-the-art, the use of pulse jet cleaning should be limited
to systems up to 142 cubic meters per second (300,000 acfm (actual cfm)).
Filter cleaning of collector units processing air or gas streams at or near ambient temperatures, shall be [manually
initiated and executed by [operating the required dampers and cleaning devices]] [automatically initiated and
executed [on an adjustable or timed cycle] [by operation of an adjustable high filter pressure drop switch]].
[Powered cleaning shall be for [intermittent] [continuous] service employing [powered vibrator or shaker devices]
[reverse air flow with atmospheric air and] [reverse cleaned air pressurized air flow with] [positive] [negative]
air pressure in the unit [compressed air pulse jet cleaning] [of individual or a few elements] [of an entire
compartment].] [Filter element cleaning shall include sonic horns.]
2.13.8.2 Filter Enclosure Construction
The filter enclosure shall be fabricated of [3.4] [4.8] [6.4] mm [10 gauge] [3/16 inch] [1/4 inch] [low carbon]
[corrosion resistant] steel of welded or bolted construction or combinations thereof. Enclosure sheets shall
be given supporting strength and rigidity by folding or bending or shall be supported on supplemental structural
steel shapes. Unit shall be provided with gas inlet and outlet connections and baffles, vanes, deflectors, or
low friction diffuser plates that will insure uniform gas flow to all elements of the fabric system without causing
flutter, vibration, or erosion of the fabric. Hinged, latched, and gasketed access doors shall be provided for
all parts and areas that require inspection or service. Fabric elements shall be secured and supported in a
manner to have the entire fabric surface so deployed that gas flow and particulate collection will be uniform
over the entire working surface. Dust shedding properties shall be uniform so that the entire fabric surface
will be equally cleared by a cleaning operation without damage to the media other than normal service wear.
Media shall be arranged in elements, sections, pockets, or tubes that can be handled, removed, replaced, and
secured without special facilities.
2.13.8.3 Intermittent and Continuous Service Units
[Intermittent service units shall be equipped with [washable] [cleaning-in-place] fabric filters.] [Continuous
service units shall be provided with means for isolation of a compartment or section for cleaning while other
compartments are performing their normal dust removal function. Compartment isolation shall effectively prevent
reentrainment of particulate during the cleaning operation.] Unit rating shall be based upon operation with
one section out for cleaning. Cleaning operation shall be [operator initiated and executed by manually operating
the cleaning cycle on each compartment in sequence until all filters have been cleaned] [operator initiated to
have the filters cleaned automatically one compartment at a time until all filters have been cleaned] [automatically
initiated by an adjustable filter air pressure drop switch operating at a high pressure set point to initiate
the filter cleaning operation] [automatically initiated by a timer to initiate filter cleaning operation]. Once
started, the cleaning operation shall progressively clean one compartment at a time until all filters are cleaned.
Removal of collected particulate shall be by [raking out] [removal and dumping of a particulate pan or tray]
[draining from a hopper below]. Collector manufacturer shall provide all of the components required for the
entire cleaning operation including [manual rappers] [motorized rappers] [manual dampers] [motorized dampers]
[compressed air surge receiver] [air compressor with receiver, motor, drive, and controls] [blast or pulse jet
controls, nozzles, and valves] [shaker or flutter blower, motor, drive, and controls] [traveling ring components].
[Automatic operations shall be provided with a manual override for starting, stopping, interrupting, and restarting
operation.]
2.13.8.4 Test Connections
Pressure test connections shall be provided at the inlet and outlet ducts connecting to the collector.
2.13.8.5 Dust Collectors Designed for In-Place Cleaning
Dust collectors designed and constructed for in-place cleaning of the fabric shall be provided with a [3.4] [4.8]
[6.4] mm [10 gauge] [3/16 inch] [1/4 inch] [low carbon] [corrosion resistant] steel sloped bottom dust storage
hopper having the dust holding capacity as indicated. Collector and hopper system shall be constructed to minimize
reentrainment of collected material into the gas stream. Hopper bottom shall be provided with rappers or fluidizing
pads and the hopper valley angle shall be 60 degrees from the horizontal and shall be free of pockets, ribs,
fins, or any other obstruction to hold or interfere with free and complete release of all collected material
to the outlet. Outlet shall be provided with [a guillotine-type slide gate] [a manually-operated rotary lock]
[a motor-driven rotary lock] [automatic lock hoppers]. Hopper shall be provided with a poke hole and gasketed
access door, and shall have a collected material level indicator for [local indication] [local indication with

[Hopper shall be provided with electric heating coils, modules, and blankets to keep collected material dry and
flowing with the unit installed outdoors and out of service in a local winter outdoor design temperature of [_____]
degrees C degrees F].
2.13.9 Gaseous Emissions Control Unit
NOTE: The gaseous emissions control units are to be used for cleaning particulate
and gaseous solvent materials from the exhaust air at laboratory fume hoods,
welding booths, water curtain paint spray booths, and other similar type problems.
The fabric prefilter will collect a reasonable amount of particulates and the
carbon will adsorb the gaseous vapors. The unit may be used without the prefilter
to collect gasoline vapor from small storage tank vents, but the tank should
be installed underground or be shaded to minimize boil-off. Project conditions
may make regeneration of the carbon desirable. A typical gaseous emission control
with carbon regeneration unit consists of two or more adsorber vessels with
deep bed (typically 450 to 600 mm (18 to 24 inches)) of high grade gas phase
activated carbon. The manufacturer should provide the bed depth as part of
his design, and should consider the life cycle cost when sizing the adsorbent
unit. The dampers and control valves will be pneumatically operated, based
on timer operation or solvent sensor operation. Once the adsorption bed is
saturated with solvent vapors, the flow into the adsorber is automatically diverted
to the second adsorber. Low pressure steam is used to desorb the saturated
adsorber, regenerating the carbon and producing a steam and solvent mixture
which is condensed in a shell and tube condenser. Water insoluble solvents
should be separated in a decanter for reuse. The system must be complete with
adsorber vessels, blower, filter, condenser, and controls. Deposition of the
waste effluents is dependent on the specific project and cannot be determined
in the guide specification.
Unit shall comply with ICAC G-1 and shall consist of a dry type particulate removal precleaner followed by an
adsorption unit of activated carbon or other approval adsorbent material.
2.13.9.1 Prefilter
Prefilter shall be [cleanable] [replaceable]. Prefilter shall have a cleaning performance equal to or exceeding
ASHRAE 52.1 of 95 percent arrestance by weight, 80 to 90 percent atmospheric dust spot efficiency, and a dust-holding
capacity of not less than 530 grams per 1 cubic meter per second 250 grams per 1,000 cfm cell. Media shall comply
with UL 900 and shall be provided with a support frame or shall be constructed to be self-supporting without
sagging either with or without gas flow. Each cell shall be securely held in place with applied pressure leak-tight
joint between the media, media flange, and media collar, and the filter shall be secured to the media bulkhead
with latches or clips to permit removal, replacement, and securing without special tools.
2.13.9.2 Adsorbent Unit
Adsorbent section shall consist of a system of trays, hollow panels, canisters, or other means of holding a deep
bed of activated carbon conforming to ASTM D 2854 and ASTM D 2862, or other adsorbent material, to cause the
processed gas to pass through a uniform depth of material in the gas flow direction. Trays, panels, and canisters
shall be designed to assure that the adsorbent bed will be uniform, full and free of voids or thin spots and
supported and contained to prevent movement, pulverizing, abrasion, or dusting of the adsorbent and easy and
full recharging without special facilities or tools. Adsorbent units shall be secured leak-tight in a bulkhead
forcing all gas to pass through the adsorbent bed.
2.13.9.3 Prefilter and Adsorbent Assemblies
Prefilter and adsorbent assemblies shall be enclosed in a welded, bolted, or riveted sheet metal enclosure that
limits both in-leakage or out-leakage of gas. Enclosure access doors or panels shall be bolted, or gasket-sealed
and latched to provide independent access to the prefilter and the adsorbent plenums. The enclosure shall be
designed for the maximum differential pressure (positive or negative) under any mode of operation.
2.13.9.4 Inlet and Outlet Ducts
Unit shall be provided with inlet and discharge vanes, baffles, diffusers, or other devices to assure uniform
gas flow through the processors. Pressure test connections shall be provided at the inlet and outlet ducts connecting
to the collector.
2.13.10 Petrol Vapor Recovery Unit
NOTE: The petrol vapor recovery unit is intended for use at fuel depots or
fuel distribution terminal facilities. It is used to recover fuel vapors by
refrigerated condensation of the material from tank and transporter vents.
Underground storage tanks at petrol dispensing stations do not commonly require
refrigerated petrol recovery units but are equipped to have the unloading fuel
displace a like volume of vapor from the underground tank into the transporter
through a vent hose and manifold which are integral with the transporter vehicle.
The transporter then hauls this vent gas to the local depot for recovery as
the transporter is reloaded. Some jurisdictions may require vehicle tank venting
back to the storage tank as the vehicle is loaded. Gaseous emission activated
carbon emission control units, with and without carbon regeneration, can be
used in this application.
Unit shall be a complete air-cooled mechanical refrigerated electric-operated unit designed for condensing the
fuel vapors vented from gasoline system storage tanks. Recovery process shall be in two steps. The first step
shall precool the vent gas to slightly above water freeze point to remove most of the water vapor without a defrost
cycle. The second step shall cool the gas to the required vapor pressure with minimum frost collection. System
shall include storage capacity and circulation system for defrosting fluid. Refrigerants shall be classified
as nontoxic, nonflammable, conforming to ASHRAE 15 & 34, Group 1.
2.13.10.1 Defrosting
[Fuel handling operation will allow defrosting for about [4] [5] [6] hours after midnight.] [Fuel handling operation
will not allow time for defrosting and a duplicate cooler shall be provided with automatic controls to alternate
the units between cool and defrost modes with status indication of each.]

indication of operating and control of the unit with complete process indication with maintenance and service
operation at the unit]. [[Visible] [and] [audible] alarms shall be provided on critical functions [locally]
[and at remote station].]

before shipment. Unit shall be skid mounted on a permanent steel base with pick-up lugs and anchor bolt holes
for installation on a concrete foundation. Electric power connection, vent gas inlet, return line for condensed
hydrocarbons, and drain for aqueous liquids shall be provided. Components shall be installed in a ventilated
weather proof enclosure with full accessibility for operation and service through hinged access doors with latches
or removable panels. Doors shall be used for access to all operating functions. Cold components and piping
of the entire system subject to sweating or frosting shall be insulated. Electrical equipment and installation
work shall conform to requirements of hazardous locations for Class I, [Division I,] [Division II,] Group D,
of NFPA 70 and NFPA 496, and Type X shall conform to UL 5, UL 674, UL 698, UL 823, UL 886, UL 894, and UL 1002
requirements. Inlet vent gas flow to the unit shall be through a 0.075 mm 200 mesh removable ASTM A 240/A 240M
stainless steel or equal strainer. Refrigeration work shall comply with ASHRAE 15 & 34 and ASME B31.5.

2.13.11 Gravel Bed Filter
NOTE: Electrostatically enhanced gravel beds, combining granular filtration
and electrostatic collection, are highly effective with collection efficiencies
in excess of 99 percent on submicron particles. Gravel beds without electrostatic
enhancement have collection efficiency greater than 95 percent on coarser particulate.
They are frequently applied to gas streams in excess of 371 degrees C (700 degrees
F) and are particularly suitable for the collection of high resistivity particulates
with potential fire and explosion hazards. Gravel beds are more compact then
electrostatic precipitators or fabric filters for comparable applications.
The unit is relatively insensitive to variations in gas flow and temperature
excursions, and, in most cases, chemical makeup of the exhaust gas and particulate.
Pressure drop across the gravel bed ranges from 763 Pa to 1271 Pa (3 to 5 inches
water) gauge. Carbon steel is the normal material of construction although
high temperature and/or corrosive environments require the use of alloys or
stainless steel.
The system shall remove particulates from process gas streams through granular filtration in a moving bed of
filter media supplemented by electrostatic collection resulting from the application of high voltage power to
[an electrical grid located in the bed] [an ionization grid located upstream of the bed in addition to an electrical
grid located in the bed].
2.13.12 Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization System
NOTE: A flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system is used to reduce emission of
sulfur dioxide from solid waste incinerator and boiler flue gases. It can also
reduce other acid gas emissions such as hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
FGD systems are classified as either wet or dry processes. In the wet process,
the flue gas reacts with a sorbent solution, producing a liquid product. The
reagent selected will result in either a waste product, which must be disposed
of, or a by-product, in which the sulfur recovered is in useable form. In general,
the capital cost of regenerative systems may be up to twice the cost of non-regenerable
systems.
System shall remove sulfur dioxide, [hydrochloric acid] [hydrofluoric acid] [particulates] [and] [______] from
processed gas stream. System shall be [non-regenerative] [regenerative] and shall use wet scrubbing process.
System shall include all equipment required for a complete, operable FGD system, including wet scrubbing system,
complete reagent feed system, [waste] [by-product] handling system, and instrumentation and controls for safe,
reliable operation of the system.

[entrainment,] type [or a combination of these types]. Scrubber shall be fluid-tight construction of [glass
fiber reinforced plastic] [rolled low-carbon steel coated with coal-tar enamel] [ASTM A 302/A 302M stainless
steel] [ASTM A 240/A 240M stainless steel] [_____]. Unit shall be constructed with leak-tight viewing windows
and access doors to permit appraisal of scrubbing process as well as full access for all service operations or

and valves.] System shall include all tanks, agitators, pumps, piping, valves and other equipment required by
a specific system design. System equipment shall be of design, material and construction appropriate for scrubbing
solution delivery and for re-circulation of scrubbing effluent. Piping shall be designed to prevent settling

Pressure test connections shall be provided at the inlet and outlet ducts connecting to the scrubber.
2.13.13 Spray Dryer Flue Gas Desulfurization System
NOTE: A flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system is used to reduce emission of
sulfur dioxide from solid waste incinerator and boiler flue gases. It can also
reduce other acid gas emissions such as hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
FGD systems are classified as either wet, wet/dry, or dry processes. The spray
dryer FGD process is a wet/dry process, in which the flue gas reacts with an
alkaline reagent, usually a lime slurry, and the reaction product is in dry
form. The reagent selected will result in either a waste product, which must
be disposed of, or a by-product, in which the sulfur recovered is in useable
form. In general, the capital cost of regenerative systems may be up to twice
the cost of non-regenerable systems.
System shall remove sulfur dioxide, [hydrochloric acid] [hydrofluoric acid] [particulates] [and] [_____] from
processed gas stream. System shall be non-regenerative and shall use a spray dryer scrubbing process. System

provide complete mixing of flue gas and chemical reagent, and to provide adequate time for chemical reaction
and evaporation of liquid in spray dryer chamber. Atomizing system shall be [rotary] [or] [dual fluid] and shall
provide uniform dispersion of the chemical reagent in the spray dryer chamber and prevent gas droplet deposition
on spray dryer walls. [Dual fluid nozzle atomizers shall use compressed air as the atomizing fluid. A dedicated
air compressor system shall be provided for dual fluid atomizing system.] Scrubber internal components shall
be designed to minimize scaling inside the tower.

include all tanks, agitators, filters, pumps, piping, valves and other equipment required by a specific system
design. System equipment shall be of design, material and construction appropriate for reagent delivery and
for re-circulation of spray dryer effluent. Piping shall be designed to prevent settling of solids inside the
pipes. Design shall include provisions for drainage and clean-out of feed system components, including pumps
and piping.
2.13.13.3 Particulate Collecting Unit
Particulate collecting unit shall be designed to collect spray dryer products and fly ash remaining in the gas
stream exiting the spray dryer. Particulate collection unit shall consist of [fabric filter collector] [electrostatic
precipitator]. [Fabric filter collector shall be in accordance with Paragraph "Dry Fabric Collector for Boiler
Flue Gases"]. [Electrostatic precipitator shall be in accordance with Paragraph "Electrostatic Precipitator
(ESP)"].
2.13.13.4 Test connections
Pressure test connections shall be provided at the inlet and outlet ducts of each spray dryer and fabric filter
collector.
2.13.14 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System
NOTE: All fossil fuel burning processes produce nitrogen oxides (NOx). Selective
catalytic reduction (SCR) reduces NOx to N2 in the presence of a catalyst.
The reducing gas is usually ammonia (NH3), and the catalyst may be composed
of various materials, such as oxides of vanadium or tungsten. The catalytic
reduction reaction requires temperatures in the range of about 300 to 425 degrees
C (600 to 800 degrees F). Selection of the catalyst material and configuration,
as well as the operating temperature, depends on the type of fuel being burned.
The catalytic reactor will receive a high dust, low dust, or tail end gas stream,
depending on its location in the system. In the high dust location, the catalyst
is located upstream of an electrostatic precipitator. Location of the SCR system
downstream of an electrostatic precipitator results in a low dust environment
for the catalyst. In the tail end location, the SCR system is located downstream
of an electrostatic precipitator and/or a flue gas desulfurization system, which
provides the cleanest gas to the catalyst. Location of the SCR in the system
will have an impact on catalyst life.
Efficiency of conventional SCR equipment in removal of NOx is about 80-90%.
SCR may be used in conjunction with combustion modifications, such as low NOx
burners. A potential complication of SCR using ammonia when high sulfur coal
is burned is the formation of ammonium bisulfate. When unreacted ammonia passes
through the catalytic reactor, called ammonia slip, it will combine with SO3
present in the flue gas, forming ammonium bisulfate. Ammonium bisulfate, a
sticky, corrosive material, will condense on downstream equipment. Ammonia
slip is a major design concern when burning high sulfur coal.
