A municipal solid waste incinerator has an emission factor of 20 lbs PM/ton of waste. Assume that the maximum two-hour permissible emission level is 0.18 g/m3 . If 80 dry standard cubic feet of flue gas are produced per pound of waste combusted, determine the control equipment collection efficiency needed to meet the emission limit. 1 ton = 2000 lb. 1 lb = 454 g. 1 ft 3 =28.3 L. PM = particulate matter.

A solid waste (SW) incinerator generates 17 lb of PM in the exhaust per US short ton of SW, without particulate control equipment. If 70 scm (standard m3) of exhaust are produced per pound of SW incinerated, determine the percent of PM that must be removed by control equipment from the exhaust to satisfy the national emission standard of 34 mg of PM/m3.
