Mechanical Collector Data
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Avoid using a mechanical collector upstream
of a baghouse. Since mechanical collectors are most
effective on particulate greater than 5 microns,
baghouse inlet gas conditions would be skewed
towards a finer particulate size distribution.
However, an excess of fine particulates tends to
cause baghouse pressure drop and bag life problems.
Not only is there an increased pressure drop in the
