Abstract
Today's increasing costs of fossil fuels, more stringent EPA regulations, and recent government action no longer render it feasible for industries to continue to expel hot, particulate laden gas streams into the atmosphere. New developments in the field of heat recovery now make it possible to recover a portion of the wasted heat and improve the working conditions of the air purification equipment. Proper design and selection of heat recovery and pollution control equipment as a combination package will require a minimum capital expenditure for the system. In addition, utilization of the recovered heat can provide a reasonable economic payback on the capital cost of the equipment and conserve precious natural resources.
