Both boilers are equipped with separate APCDs and with separate stacks and proper sampling arrangements. During visit, both the boilers were in operation. It was observed that the industry has installed a new bag filter house (BFH) alongside the ESP installed as APCD with the boiler of capacity 55 TPH and provided arrangement to channelize the emissions/ flue gases from the operation of 55 TPH boiler, partly into the ESP and partly into the newly installed BFH. The representative of the unit informed that the said arrangement for diversion of flue gases from the 55 TPH boiler is such that the flue gases (with load of 40 TPH) are being channelized to ESP and the flue gases (with load of 15 TPH) are being channelized to BFH; the treated emissions from both the APCDs are channelized to the wet scrubber installed as an additional pollution control arrangement in series to the said 55 TPH boiler. Further, the industry has installed trima cyclone followed by separate wet scrubber arrangement acting as APCD with the boiler of capacity 30 TPH. </span></p>

The said system was in operation. The industry has provided piping arrangement to utilize the purge water from the aforementioned wet scrubber(s) for quenching of the fuel ash generated from both the boilers.</span></p>
