Integrating An ESP And Power Generation System Into A Convection Enhanced Gravity Settling Chamber For Small Scale Industries In Developing Countries: A Review

Abstract

Particulate matter pollution is still a challenge in developing countries. In the past years, many researches have concluded that it causes many adverse health effects. Filtering the particulate matter involves implementing costly equipment. This fact makes the small scale industry owners in developing country go for less efficient smoke filtering devices or no devices at all. In this review paper, a new device, smoke settling chamber (SSC), which is a settling chamber integrated with an ESP is presented. It is a cost efficient device as it works from the waste energy of smoke which it extracts by using a power generating system. The detailed working of the device is discussed along with diagrams. This review paper also presents the mathematical parameter for the working of such a device. This study concludes that this device can be given for manufacturing and further analysis after that.
