(WOOD DUST)
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the sources and causes of air pollution from particulate matter mainly wood dust and to make recommendations for students and suggesting a
theoretical suitable solution for industries to control particulate matter emission of factories. In the first part, this study provide the introduction of air pollution to serve better understanding for the
reader. This includes the definition, classification, and the current treatment used for controlling the emission of particulate matter. The second part is to provide the concrete solution to solve the
problem which is by using a Hurricane system combine with a Bipolar Electrostatic Agglomeration Process and the theoretical design are also provided for better understanding.
INTRODUCTION
Wood dust is considered as particulate substances that are harmful and make the air
contaminated causing dangerous disease. Based on the problem that we encounter, this paper
also includes the solution of our problem including the process involve, treatment and
technology used and design made.
OBJECTIVES
1. To study the effect of air pollution from wood dust.
2. To suggest a suitable solution in order to reduce and control the particle emission from
wood based factory.
3. To raise awareness of the manufacturer about the importance of the control of wood dust
emission in their factory
LITERATURE REVIEW
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Our solution is by installing a bipolar electrostatic agglomerator process with a hurricane
cyclone.
CONCLUSION
Air pollution is dangerous and the effects to environment is alarming. Based on this study we hope
our solution can be implemented in real industrial process to help betterment of our air quality so
that we can live in a cleaner surrounding.
