They will find the course informative, regardless of whether they design, purchase, research, or use dust separation equipment for product recovery, emission control, or process gas cleaning. It is a comprehensive review of the processes involved in the separation of solid or liquid particles from gases, which will emphasise practical aspects and present appropriate theoretical information as necessary.       SCOPE: Evaluation of dust collection equipment Centrifugal collectors / cyclones Fibrous filters / deep bed filters Fabric filters / surface filters Wet scrubbers Electrical precipitators Selection of dust collection equipment Raw gas conditioning       Schedule   9.00-9.15 h Introduction     Dust Separation; Overview of the course   9.15-10.00 h Evaluation of Dust Collection Equipment     Particle characterisation, overall and fractional collection efficiency   10.00-10.45 h Centrifugal Collectors (Cyclones)     Mode of operation, basic designs, collection efficiency, pressure drop   10.45-11.00 h Break   11.00-11.45 h Fibrous Filters (Deep-Bed Filters)     Mode of operation, basic designs, collection efficiency, pressure drop.   11.45-12.30 h Fabric Filters (Surface filters)     Mode of operation, basic designs, operating characteristics, design calculations   12.30-13.00 h Questions and Answers     An open-floor question and answer session   13.00-14.00 h Lunch   14.00-14.45 h Wet Scrubbers     Mode of operation, basic designs, design calculations, droplet separation   14.45-15.30 h Electrical Precipitators     Mode of operation, basic designs, design calculations, droplet separation   15.30-15.45 h Break   15.45-16.30 h Selection of Dust Collection Equipment     Comparison of the different techniques, strengths and weaknesses, fields of application   16.30-17.15 h Raw Gas Conditioning     Additional techniques for enhancing dust separation equipment.   17.15-18.00 h Discussion     An open-floor question and answer session               Course Presenter     Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.
