  • Advanced particulate matter control apparatus and methods
    Patent number: 8092768
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for collection and removal of particulate matter, including fine particulate matter, from a gas stream, comprising a unique combination of high collection efficiency and ultralow pressure drop across the filter. The apparatus and method utilize simultaneous electrostatic precipitation and membrane filtration of a particular pore size, wherein electrostatic collection and filtration occur on the same surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 11, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2012
    Assignee: Energy & Environmental Research Center Foundation
    Inventors: Stanley J. Miller, Ye Zhuang, Jay C. Almlie

  • Multifunctional abatement of air pollutants in flue gas
    Patent number: 7628969
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method that uses generated alkaline, alkaline-earth, and/or silica/alumina aerosols as a multifunctional additive to scavenge sulfur oxides in flue gas, minimize poisoning effects of sulfur oxides on mercury sorbent performance, and enhance particulate matter capture in electrostatic precipitators and other particulate filter devices by conditioning the fly ash.
    Type: Grant
