Air pollution control system research: An iterative approach to developing affordable systems

Abstract : The research will be accomplished on lab scale, pilot scale, and production air pollution control systems (APCS). The production system, to be installed at Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) Barstow, CA, will treat the exhaust from three paint booths which will be modified to recirculate a large percentage of their exhaust. These recirculation systems are, themselves, a critical element in the overall R&D effort. The goal of the program is to conduct an R&D effort which will improve and demonstrate a combination of technologies intended to make VOC treatment both effective and affordable. The U.S. Marine Corps, the other services and industry will each benefit.
