Students successfully completing this course will understand the operating principles of particulate control systems
used at air pollution control sources. The scope of the course includes fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators,
particulate wet scrubbers, and mechanical collectors. Introductory material concerning particle aerodynamic
behavior and particle formation is provided as a basis for course materials on particulate control systems. This
course provides a foundation for later courses concerning source sampling, inspection, and permit review. A
scientific calculator is required for class exercises.
