Characteristics of PM and PAHs Emitted from Oil-fired Process by Ming Wei Chang, Minh Man Trinh, Chian Kou Lien, Moo Been Chang

“…Abstract Sampling and analysis of NOx, SO2, filterable particulate matter (FPM), FPM2.5, condensable particulate matter (CPM), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from an oil-fired boiler equipped with efficiency of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) as air pollution control devices (APCDs) were conducted. Moreover, the emission characteristics of these pollutants were also evaluated at two loadings, i.e., low (30%) and high (80%) capacities. …”
