A INDUSTRIAL ACCESSMULTI-CRAFT SERVICES ✓BULK MATERIAL VSmokestack Scrubbers- What You Need to KnowMECHANICAL SERVICES VSmokestack scrubbers are a relatively new component to industrial exhaustsystems. Scrubber systems are used as air pollution control devices thatremove harmful particles, gases, or chemical byproducts from industrialexhaust streams. While not found on many older industrial chimneys, newgovernment regulations are requiring them to be added or constructed as anemissions control device. Although the EPA focuses most of its regulations &emission requirements on power plants and the energy industry, any plant thathas a high-emission fuel source, such as natural gas, coal, or trash, will need tohave some version of a scrubber or scrubber system installed.These emissions control devices use liquid or chemicals to remove particulatematter or gases from industrial exhaust and flue gases. Atomized liquid (generally water) catches and entrains pollutantgases § and harmful particles, turning them into slurry waste streams which will then need to be recycled or disposed of.While there are many air pollution control components on the market, smokestack scrubbers are very multidisciplinary.These units have the ability to remove gases, mists, and solids simultaneously. Plus, they can act as a cooling mechanismfor the exhaust stream. Air scrubbers, also called wet scrubbers or gas scrubbers, are also capable of handling flammableand explosive gases safely.OperationAs the exhaust air leaves the plant's furnace or manufacturing equipment, it passes through the duct network where itmakes its way to the scrubber system. The smokestack scrubber collects potential harmful materials from the exhauststream, then releases the clean air out through the smokestack. Some scrubber systems also contain a heat recovery coilthat collects the heat energy from the exhaust and transfers it back into the building's heating unit for reuse, which savesenergy and money. Two Types of Industrial Scrubber Systems: Wet & Dry"Wet" scrubber systems use water or some type of liquid to collect harmful substances from the exhaust air. Wetsmokestack scrubbers work with both gaseous and solid material, and can even safely handle corrosive materials. "Dry"scrubber systems, on the other hand, use specific chemicals that target, absorb, and dissolve hazardous materials in theexhaust. Dry smokestack scrubbers are more suitable for gaseous materials than solid waste particles.MaintenanceAs with other components of an industrial chimney or smokestack exhaust system, scrubbers must be properly maintainedand cleaned. Filters and material collection devices should be emptied or replaced as necessary. A smokestack scrubberthat is not properly maintained will be inefficient and can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Scrubbers can also sufferfrom high levels of corrosion and produce slurry waste streams which tend to be more of a hassle to recycle and disposeof.Industrial Access regularly maintains and inspects industrial chimneys and smokestack systems. Our industrialprofessionals can review the condition of your chimney or stack connected to your scrubbing system and offer advice onmaintenance that may be needed. Since smokestack scrubbers are a newer type of technology, we do recommendreaching out to your manufacturer for any required cleanings and repairs, because generally they fall under warranty.Speak with our experts today to find out more about plant and industrial chimney maintenance and how we can assist withmaintenance plans for your industrial exhaust system.

Imagine a firm’s marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is: MAC = 100 – 2E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, its marginal abatement cost function will be: MAC = 50 – E. If the government raises the tax on emissions from $4 to $12, the benefits of adopting the new technologies increase by $____

Please help with the calculations & working :) In this question there is a diagram with ‘y’ being the vertical axis representing costs/damages, and ‘P’ being a horizontal axis representing pollution. Abatement is the opposite of pollution, so if pollution falls from, say, 3 to 1 abatement rises by 2. 1. Suppose the marginal damage curve to private firms is MDP: y=0 and the marginal cost of abatement is MCA: y=1-P if P<1 and y=0 otherwise, where y is the vertical axis on a cost/damage scale, and P is the amount of pollution. Plot these curves and the equilibrium amount of pollution which is privately optimal for the firm. 2. Why is the marginal cost of abatement is downward sloping (with increasing pollution measured on the bottom axis as you go right). Give an example where this is a reasonable assumption 3. Suppose the marginal damage to society is MDS: y=P. Calculate the socially optimal amount of pollution. What ethical system does the ‘optimal amount of pollution’ belong? To…
Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead, and then answer the questions that follow. The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit. Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized…

Question 3 options: CBS is selling advertising for its broadcast of the AFC championship game. The station’s demand for minutes of commercial advertising time is the demand it faces from the companies to which it sells advertising time: PADS = 100,000 - 50Q. CBS has MC = $2000. Buyers pay CBS a price PCBS for each minute of advertising and add $1,000 for each ad to cover the tax they pay, so their MCADS= PCBS + 1000. No one has any fixed costs. The profit for CBS is (include dollar sign and any commas, no decimals)
