Health | Buyers of electrostatic precipitators should compare the machine's ozone output with Federal standards. (references) | |
Business | Other pollution control equipment used at power plants are electrostatic precipitator, back filter, dry low-NOx burner and over-fire damper. (references) | |
The increase in the use of natural gas over lignite and fuel oil will, however, reduce the necessity for the installation of flue gas desulfurization systems (FGDs) and electrostatic precipitator systems (ESPs). (references) | ||
Economic History | Philippines | The specific equipment provided and services rendered in each of the following sectors are: for air pollution related problems, the best prospects are: air emission control equipment for industry (flue gas desulfurization plant and denitrifying plant, electrostatic precipitators, air scrubbers, baghouses, and catalytic converters); clean energy and technology associated with energy substitution; public transport; catalytic converters; vehicular emission testing; gas combustion systems; natural gas distribution; and vehicle inspection systems.
