Cloud Chamber Collects Submicron Particulate
from Coal Combustion, Industrial Boilers,
and Biomass Combustion Emissions
Tri-Mer Corporation has introduced the Cloud Chamber System, a technology that has
proved 99%+ efficient for the collection of submicron particulate from sources such as
coal combustion, industrial boilers, biomass combustion emissions and diesel engines.
"CCS" is a wet scrubber technology that charges water and particulates with opposite polarity.
In the action of the scrubber, droplets and particles move continuously in relation to each other.
As they approach 20 microns of separation, induced electrical attraction pulls the particles into
the droplets. Each droplet collects thousands of particles – coarse, fine, submicron, ultrafine and
condensables. This means that collector water droplets are delivered to the particulate in a way
that has not been achievable previously.
CCS offers several advantages over conventional devices used with coal combustion,
industrial boilers and biomass combustion emission sources. One of the most important is the
requirement of less than 1.5" w.g. of pressure drop under full load operation. (For comparison,
conventional "Venturi" systems typically require 40" to 70" of pressure drop; diffusion candles
typically require 16" to 20" of pressure drop.) This factor is a major contributor to the system's
low operating costs. Also notable: the CCS is applicable to both soluble and insoluble
particulate, so it is well suited for coal combustion and industrial boilers.
A second unique feature of the CCS is its ability to remove any gas treatable by a wet scrubber,
including HCl, NO2, SO2, Cl2, NH3 as well as HF, H2SO4, HNO3, ammonia and amine compounds,
at the same time as particulate. This is important because, for the first time, one device can handle
particulates and corrosive fumes simultaneously.
The CCS has been shown to be 99%+ efficient for the collection of all types of particulate
down to 0.1 micron. Systems are manufactured to customers' specifications in
polypropylene, FRP, PVC, stainless steel, and alloy materials.
