EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

•GENERAL– VISIBILITY REDUCTION DUE TO SCATTERING OF LIGHT

FROM SURFACES OF AIR BORNE PARTICLES

–

MATERIAL DAMAGE– AGRICULTURAL DAMAGE DUE TO ASH DEPOSITION

• LOSS AND REDUCTION OF GREEN PLANT PIGMENT

CALLED CHLOROPHYLL RESULTING IN YELLOWING AND

EVEN DROPPING OF LEAVES.

– DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS, MONUMENTS OF MARBLE

ETC.



EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

• HUMAN HEALTH

– OCCUPATIONAL SKIN DECEASE

– AFFECTS LUNGS - SILICOSIS FOR FOUNDRY WORKMEN

– RESPIRATORY CONDITION DUE TO TOXIC AGENTS

• ACUTE CONJUNCTIONS DUE TO CHEMICAL DUSTS, FUMES

AND GASES

– DISORDER DUE TO PHYSICAL AGENTS - ENVIRONMENTAL

HEAT OR LOW TEMPERATURE

– EYE IRRITATION, COUGH AND BREATHLESSNESS

– FORMATION OF CARBOXYL HEMOGLOBIN WHICH

PREVENTS O2 CARRIAGE BY BLOOD



GROWTH OF PROBLEMS OF AIR POLLUTION

• Rapid economic growth

•

Rapid industrialization and urbanization• Increased industrial production

• Population explosion

• Growth in demand for power

• Increase in requirement for thermal power plants

• More number of old coal based power plants

designed for high emission & low ash content coal

• High ash content or deterioration in quality of coal

reserve

TYPES OF DUST COLLECTING EQUIPMENTS



PURPOSE OF POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT

•Recovery of material for economic reasons – Pulp and Paper Industries (Sodium Sulphate)

• Removal of abrasive material in the dust to

reduce wear and tear of the Fan components

• Removal of objectionable matter in the dust

– NO2 and SO2



ADVANTAGES OF ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS

•

Very high collection efficiency• Low pressure drop

• capacity to collect sub-micron particles

• Robust construction - Longer life

• Less maintenance

•

Adaptability



ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR PRINCIPLE



ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR WORKING PRINCIPLE

The precipitation process involves 4 main functions

• Corona generation

• Particle charging

• Particle collection

• Removal of particles



ESP - CORONA GENERATION

• Due to the ionisation of gas molecules, + ve ions, -ve ions and freeelectrons are generated.



CORONA DISCHARGE IN SPIRAL ELECTRODE



ESP - PARTICLE CHARGING

• The -ve charges of ions and free electrons travel towards +ve electrodeand the +ve charges of ions travel towards -ve electrodes.

• When -ve ions travel towards +ve electrodes, the -ve charges get

attached to the dust particles and thus the dust particles areelectrically charged,



ESP - PARTICLE COLLECTION



ESP - REMOVAL OF PARTICLE



ESP SIZING THEORY

DEUTSCH - ANDERSON EQUATION

Collection Efficiency = 1 - e - w. SCA

where,

w = Migration velocity

SCA = Specific Collecting Area

• Migration Velocity – The velocity which the dust particle travel towards the collecting electrode

under the influence of electric field.

• Specific collecting area

– Amount of collecting area required to be provided to collect dust in gasflow rate of 1 m3/s.



DEFINITIONS

• Flue gas velocity, m/s = Flue gas flow in m3

ESP effective cross section m2

• Aspect ratio = Effective length of ESP

Collecting electrode height

• Treatment time, sec = Effective length of ESP in m

Flue gas velocity in m/s



DEFINITIONS



EFFECT OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS

Gas velocity

• velocity is decided by the gas flow and collection efficiencyrequired

•

Higher the gas velocity, higher the carryover of dustparticles without collection - Re-entertainment

• Very poor velocity alters the flow distribution and effectssettling of dust particles

•

optimum velocity depends upon the application willimprove the performance.




Aspect ratio

• During the rapping, the falling of dust particle take a trajectoryform

•

Lower the aspect ratio, the trajectory dust travel along with gasflow without falling in to hoppers - Leads to re-entrainmentloss.

• Higher the ratio, performance will be good

•

optimum aspect ratio depends on allowable velocity, requiredcollection efficiency and available space.




Treatment time

• Time available for capturing the dust particle

• more treatment time at reasonable velocity improves the

collection efficiency• Probability of capturing the re-entrained partilces improves

with time.



ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS IN INDIA

Prior to 1984

• 1974 – water act• 1977 – water cess act

• 1981 – air act

The cost of compliance was more than that of non-compliance:

• 1986 – Environmental Protection Act

comprehensive act with ‘command & control’

• Future trend is to internalize the environmentalimprovement cost



REVISED EMISSION STANDARD(GAZETTE NOTIFICATION BY MINISTRY OF E&F DATED 19 05 93)

• SUSPENDED PARTICULATE MATTER (SPM) : < 150 mg/Nm3

•

STANDARD ALSO STATES THAT• FOR POWER PLANTS

•CAPACITY LESS THAN 62.5 MW AND

COMMISSIONED BEFORE 01 01 1982 : 350 mg/Nm3

• FOR CEMENT PLANTS (TOTAL EMISSIONS)

• CAPACITY LESS THAN 200 TPD : 400 mg/Nm3

• CAPACITY MORE THAN 200 TPD : 250 mg/Nm3



ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

– TODAY’S WORLD

World Bank’s ‘proposed guide lines’

• For new thermal power plants (TPP) forcapacities ≥ 50 MW

• Pollution control at project formulation levelitself

• Site specific emission guide line

• Propose standard of 50 mg/Nm3• Aided projects are to abide by this

• Further implication on technical, economic &

institutional
