Thermal & Catalytic Oxidation

Good description of thermal and catalytic oxidation technologies.

Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO) white papers on control technologies. Appears to be industry-specific technology reviews, from around 2005-2006, in support of SIP preparation for ozone, PM2.5, and regional haze.

Report describing above white papers: background, methodology, program description, etc.

LADCO BART reports. Also appears to be 2005-2006 vintage.

LADCO workshop presentations. See especially the March 24-25, 2010 presentations.

Several control technology presentations from a May 2011 Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Assn. (MARAMA) workshop on Advances in Air Pollution Control Technologies.

BACT Resources

Clean Air Technology Center
Lots of fact sheets for various control technologies. Includes typical control efficiency ranges and very rough cost estimates.

Environmental Technology Verification Program, Air Pollution Control Technology Center
Generally more current than the CATC, but far fewer resoucrces.

Historical Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Indices
CEPCI for 1950 through 2006

Equipment cost scaling factors
Includes X^0.6 rule for scaling known price of equipment at size A to unknown price of similar equipment at size B.

PM2.5 Implementation History and BACT Analysis

This is something I submitted to Indiana Department of Environmental Quality for the Synergy Management lime plant permit application in September 2010. The implementation history may be of general interest (though as of a couple of weeks ago, a third implementation rule was finalized). Its usefulness is limited now and rapidly diminishing, but interesting nonetheless. Don't know yet if the agency bought everything, but they at least seem to be seriously considering it.
