The results are presented of two projects conducted by the EPRI to evaluate the performance of electrostatic precipitators and fabric filters applied to coal-fired utility boilers. The total and fine particle removal capability of the two pollution control systems are characterized. Baghouse data shows an overall collection efficiency of 99.92% and a fine particulate collection efficiency of 99.4%. The overall efficiencies for electrostatic precipitators ranged from 99.64 to 99.9%. (LCL)
