ABSTRACT
Cost data of various configurations of gin emission control devices were collected from manufacturers and compared for their respective efficiencies. Unifilter (rotary drum) system, 2D-2D, 1D-3D, and 2D-2D plus 1D-3D series cyclones systems were analyzed. The 2D-2D and 1D-3D configuration was found to be effective in controlling TSP emissions at a reasonable cost. The difference in collections of other systems do not yield significant collection efficiency improvements compared to the additional expense.
