Air Cleaning and Dust Separation Short Course II
This 1-day Short Course is of interest to engineers, technicians, scientists, managers, and other personnel involved in gas-solid separation in indoor air systems and the process industries. This Course is informative, regardless of whether you design, purchase, research, or use dust separation equipment for product recovery, emission control, air conditioning systems or process gas cleaning. This course is a comprehensive review of the processes involved in the separation of solid or liquid particles from gases.
- Evaluation & Selection of Dust Collection Equipment
- Wet Scrubbers and Electrical Precipitators
- Centrifugal Collectors
- Cyclones
- Fibrous Filters
- Deep Bed Filters
- Raw Gas Characterisation and Conditioning
- Fabric Filters
- Surface Filters
- Health, Safety and Environnement
