This series of six articles was prepared at EPRI and is reprinted from the January-June 1984 issues of the Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association. The articles discuss the experiences of electric utilities in applying fabric filter (baghouse) technology for the collection of particulate matter at coal-fired electric power generating plants. The series presents new data obtained in research sponsored by EPRI on reverse-gas and shake/deflate cleaned baghouses and specifically addresses a number of unresolved issues in the design and operation of these units. The series' objective is to provide electric utilities, fabric filter manufacturers and vendors, research and development organizations, and regulatory agencies with current data on unit design and operating parameters and to foster the continued transfer of technical information in the field. The six articles are: Part I, Utility Baghouse Design and Operation; Part II, Application of Baghouse Technology in the Electric Utility Industry; Part III, Performance of Full-Scale Utility Baghouses; Part IV, Pilot-Scale and Laboratory Studies of Fabric Filter Technology for Utility Applications; Part V, Development and Evaluation of Bag-Cleaning Methods in Utility Baghouses, and Part VI, Future Research, Development, and Demonstration of Utility Baghouses. Separate abstracts appear in the Energy Data Base for each of these journal articles.
