Abstract
Particulate matter emissions from shipping affect air quality in port areas. Physical removal of particulate matter is difficult due to the small size of particles. In this article the so-called Steam Jet Aerosol Collector (SJAC) is introduced; a novel technique to enlarge particulate matter, facilitating its physical removal. Results are presented from experiments conducted on a pilot-scale test facility. The SJAC-technology shows potential in combination with a cyclone having a maximum number removal efficiency of 33%, as measured with an SMPS and a maximum mass removal efficiency of 24%, as measured with an absolute filter at 110?C (383K). Further system development is however necessary. References: 6 references open in new window Articles that cite this article?
