Particulate reduction via ECC technology. Biomass is suspended in a small crucible held over a propane diffusion flame (not visible) generating copious quantities of soot (a). ECC technology immediately eliminates the particulate with greater than 90% reduction in opacity (b). When the field is switched off, the soot formation resumes per (a). (a) ECC Technology Off (b) ECC Technology On Figure 5. Particulate filter samples with and without ECC technology. In each case, a stack sample is drawn through a vacuum pump for 5 minutes. The filter sample without ECC technology engaged is shown at left (a). The adjoining figure shows a filter sample drawn under otherwise identical conditions but with ECC technology engaged comprising a pink ash with no visible unburned carbon (b). |
