Control Equipment Calculations 2013 Emissions Inventory Workshop
Control Efficiency Calculations • Capture Efficiency: • The percentage of air emission that is collected and routed to the control equipment. Most control devices have a 100% capture efficiency. • Control Efficiency: • The percentage of air pollutant that is removed from the air stream by the control device. 2013 Emissions Inventory Workshop

Two Controls – Grain Handling Calculation Process: Grain handling for feed manufacture SCC: 30200801 Activity: 10,000 tons Pollutant: PM 10 Factor: 3 lbs/ton Primary Control: Cyclone Secondary Control: Baghouse 2013 Emissions Inventory Workshop
A Complex Situation: Capture Efficiency, Primary Efficiency & Secondary Efficiency 2013 Emissions Inventory Workshop
Two Controls – Grain Handling Calculation • Capture Device: Hood • Therefore, the other 10% is emitted directly to the atmosphere • Primary control device: Cyclone • The control equipment removes 80% of PM 10 from the emission stream. • Secondary control device: Baghouse • The control equipment removes 98% of PM 10 from the emission stream. 2013 Emissions Inventory Workshop
