Abstract

Globally, the amount of particulate matter concentration emitted are uncontrollable. Particulate matter PM 1.0, PM 2.5 and PM 10 emitted to the atmosphere through many ways which is one of them is through emission of open burning. In Malaysia, open burning activity are one of the reasons for this study. The emission of PM that is beyond our comprehend should be investigated and looked into as it causes a health complication in long term. The goal of this study is to design an emission-controlled burning system that filters and reduce the concentration of particulate matter (PM) emitted from the emissions. The aim of this thesis is to fabricate the system and conduct the PM filtration in three different types of filtering mediums. To do that, three combustion mediums are used, which is woods, plastic and paper. Data and result of PM will be analyzed and comparing the presence of concentration of particulate matter in each emission. Data and results will be taken by having a steel water barrel as the burning compartment and small water container as the second compartment as the filter compartment. Both are connected by a reinforced PVC hose that is channeling the emission from the burning compartment to the filter compartment. The filtered emission will be analyzed with DustTrax DRX, the monitoring device. Data and results are extracted using the TSI software to convert the reading into graph form to be analyzed. The data in each graph are compared and the concentration of PM in each filtering medium and combustion medium points out a significant reading. Through this experiment, the emission of PM can be reduced though it may not 100 percent eliminate the particulate matter.
