This is the fourth in a series of papers discussing the experience of electric utilities in applying 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 the Electric Power Research Institute (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. This paper discusses pilot-scale studies of baghouse particulate collection efficiency and opacity, pressure drop interpretation and prediction, and the impacts of startup/shutdown on system performance. It also presents results of laboratory studies of dust cakes.
