Abstract
This project provides fact sheets for ESP's and Fabric Filters that are used to control particulate matter. The fact sheets briefly describe:
- each technology
- its theory of operation
- where it can be applied
- its control efficiency
- cost effectiveness
- other critical operation and maintenance factors
