Sizing and costing of fabric filters part ii: Costing considerations

Abstract

This is the second of a two-part article that reviews baghouse filtration theory, presents size estimating methods, and gives costing procedures for a variety of baghouse types and sizes. Part I of the article discussed theory and sizing; this part presents costing. Information is given for estimating total capital investment including separate costs for the bare baghouse (five types), bags, and, where needed, cages and venturis. Factors are given for installation and for indirect costs. Direct and indirect annual costs are discussed. An example problem is given. The material in this article is taken primarily from the EAB Control Cost Manual. © 1987, Air & Waste Management Association.
