- Abstract
- Air pollution is a problem that has been linked to health risks and disease and contains aerosols with very small particles (PM2.5) which reach deep down in the lung tissues and cause problems leading to both cancer and other health issues. Different authorities and fire and rescue service departments in Sweden create large emissions when training their personnel in facilities for smoke producing combustions and gives reason to try to clean the smoke from harmful particles. In this study the efficiency of a wet scrubber facility and possible improvements to increase its efficiency were studied.
The concentration of particle mass in smoke from combusted biodiesel was measured in 〖mg/m〗^3. PM2.5 and CO₂ was produced and measured at the...

Different authorities and fire and rescue service departments in Sweden create large emissions when training their personnel in facilities for smoke producing combustions and gives reason to try to clean the smoke from harmful particles. In this study the efficiency of a wet scrubber facility and possible improvements to increase its efficiency were studied.
The concentration of particle mass in smoke from combusted biodiesel was measured in 〖mg/m〗^3. PM2.5 and CO₂ was produced and measured at the same time in relation to each other and compared in smoke before and after being cleaned in the scrubber. The cleaning process included steel filters, water from sprinklers and an additive of either NaOH or a surfactant. PM2.5 and CO₂ was also measured in the surroundings by a low-cost module to see if the area where the experiment’s practitioners where standing would be affected. Using water and steel filters to clean diesel smoke seemed to have a clear but low effect. The production of PM2.5 seemed to have a linear correlation to the production of CO₂. Possible reasons for the low cleansing effect could be insufficient amount of water and filters, too low mixture of additives and/or that the particles produced are too small to efficiently be cleansed in this type of facility. The measurements by the low-cost module showed that high temporary peaks of PM2.5 could be measured in the surroundings. (Less)
