Design of Cyclone by Stairmad Method for the Control of Particulate Matter

Air pollution is assuming significant and even alarming dimensions, particularly in urban and industrial areas, necessitating control at the source. Industrial air pollution is generally managed by installing electrostatic precipitators, bag filters, multicones, and cyclones for particulate matter control, along with wet scrubbers of various types, adsorption, oxidation, and reduction techniques for gaseous pollutants. Pollution from suspended particulate matter (SPM) is common, especially from vehicular and industrial emissions. These particulate matters are classified as settleable, suspended, and respirable. This research paper explains and designs the cyclone and multicone to control dust emissions, particularly of coarser nature, from a typical cement grinding unit using the Stairmad design model.
