Power generation: air pollution monitoring and control
- eds.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of air pollution control technology associated with power generation. The section on atmospheric modeling provides methods for determining ground level concentrations including generalized calculation procedures, effects of downwash, calculation of background concentrations, estimation of general levels of pollution in urban areas, and air quality determination from emission data. Models specifically applicable to cooling towers are also provided. Two comprehensive sections on air monitoring include chapters on design of air monitoring surveys, instrument calibration and operation, methods for plume monitoring with aircraft, and unique methods for continuous particle and sulfur monitoring in stacks as well as a detailed evaluation of monitoring methods for cooling towers. Supplemental control methods are evaluated, and a chapter is provided on TVA experiences in their use. The section concerned with gaseous control includes detailed economic information on alternate processes for removal of sulfur dioxide from stack gases. Pilot plant experience, the results of process modification for various removal methods, and the effect of chemical additives on efficiency and operational characteristics are described. The section on particle removal discusses electrostatic precipitator application and provides information on the operational efficiency of electrostatic precipitators, which can be compared to present design equations and utilized for the development of new equations. The effect of particle size and particle resistivity on collection efficiency is also discussed. Six chapters present a comprehensive evaluation of filter application to collection of fly ash from power plants.
