Current environmental concern has motivated the establishment of a legal protection policy which demands that industries minimize their activities’ effects on the population and the environment. Therefore, requiring the integration of particulate air pollution control equipment has been seen as the best course of action. Among the high-performance pollution control devices cyclone, bag filter and electrostatic precipitator are the most commonly used. In this respect the present work presents pros and cons of these equipment, aiming to assist engineers in choosing the ideal control device taking into consideration the characteristics, yield and efficiency of each equipment.
