Emission Emission Source Control Control System
Source ID . Description System ID I Description
Observed: The woodworking equipment consisting of planers, sanders, and saws are vented to the
main cyclone(ID No. CO2; 12.4 feet in diameter). The main cyclone is vented to a bagfilter(ID No.
CO1). Bagfilter COI exhaust can be vented to the outdoor atmosphere or returned back into the plant.
Collected woodwaste from Bagfilter CO 1 and Cyclone CO2, is pneumatically conveyed to a woodwaste
storage bin via transfer cyclone(ID No. CO3; 7.3 feet in diameter). Transfer Cyclone CO3 vents into
Bagfilter CO 1. The transfer cyclone is mounted on top of the woodwaste storage bin. Collected
woodwaste drops from the cyclone into the woodwaste storage bin. The bin is emptied into a trailer as
needed.
The system was operating with the bagfilter exhaust vented back into the plant and no-visible emissions .
