Air Pollution Control Measures In Industrial Centers

 

1. The emission rates should be restricted to permissible levels by each and every industry. 

 2. Incorporation of Air pollution control equipment in the design of the plant layout must be made  mandatory.

 3. Continuous monitoring of the atmosphere for the pollutants should be carried out to know the emission levels.

Equipment used to control air pollution:

Air pollution can be reduced by adopting the following approaches.

i) To ensure sufficient supply of oxygen to the combustion chamber and adequate temperature so that the combustion is complete, eliminating much of the smoke consisting of party burnt ashes and dust. 

ii)To use mechanical devices such as scrubbers, cyclones, bag houses and electro - static precipators, reducing particulate pollutants. 

1) electrostatic precipitator 

2)Baghouse filter

 

3.)Cyclone Separator 

4.) Wet scrubber 

The tools in pictures are commonly used control methods for removing particulates from the exhaust gases of electric power and industrial plants. All these methods retain hazardous materials that must be disposed of safely. The wet scrubber can also reduce Sulphur oxide emissions. 

iii) Chemical Treatment to deal with factory fumes. 

The disposal of the collected air pollutants is equally important for successful control of air pollution.
