Par ticulate matter emissions from shipping affect air quality in por t areas. Physical removal of par ticulate matter is difficult due to the small size of par ticles. In this ar ticle the so-called Steam Jet Aerosol Collector (SJAC) is introduced; a novel technique to enlarge par ticulate 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). Fur ther system development is however necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
