EMISSION PROFILE OF PM, PM10 AND PM 2.5 OF STATIONERY SOURCES FROM BOILERS USING VARIOUS FUELS – AN INVESTIGATION

I. Karuppiah and S. Sumathi

Abstract

This study describes emission profile of PM, PM10 and PM2.5 of stationery sources from boilers employed in four industries, in small scale sector, with stack heights ranging from 12.5 to 51.5 m. Boilers in which four different fuels, kerosene (SKO), and furnace oil (FO), coal and briquetted wood were selected for PM, PM10 and PM2.5 emission studies. PM10 and PM2.5 emission was more from liquid fuels compared to the solid fuels.
