Controlling Cotton Gin Emissions

Pages 637-638 | Published online: 14 Mar 2012
 

Abstract

Since cotton today is machine picked, the mere process of ginning creates a significant amount of trash and dust. A large cotton gin in Fresno operating at 23 bales per hour uses two rotating filters to control this material. Total emissions from the facility are in the order of 50 pounds per hour, or about one-half the emissions from a typical gin using cyclones as control equipment.
