o Adsorption towers consist of cylinders packed with the
adsorbent.
o The adsorbent is supported on a heavy screen
o Since adsorption is temperature dependent, the flue gas
is temperature conditioned.
o Vapor monitors are provided to detect for large
concentrations in the effluent. Large concentrations of
the pollutant in the effluent indicate that the adsorbent
needs to be regenerated.

What is Noise?
• In simple terms, noise is unwanted sound. Sound is a form
of energy which is emitted by a vibrating body and on
reaching the ear causes the sensation of hearing through
nerves.
• Sounds produced by all vibrating bodies are not audible.
The frequency limits of audibility are from 20 HZ to 20,000
HZ.
• Sounds of frequencies less than 20 HZ are called infrasonics
and greater than 20,0000 HZ are called ultrasonics.
![Page 75: air and noise pollution environmental protection and control](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021502/58e4af171a28ab1c1f8b49a7/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
A noise problem generally consists of three inter-related
elements
1. The source,
2. The transmission path and
3. The receiver.
This transmission path is usually the atmosphere
through which the sound is propagated, but can include the
structural materials of any building containing the receiver
![Page 76: air and noise pollution environmental protection and control](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021502/58e4af171a28ab1c1f8b49a7/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
How it is computed?
• The intensity of sound is measured in sound pressure
levels (SPL) and common unit of measurement is decibel,
dB.
• If the sound levels are measured in terms of pressure,
then, sound pressure level, LP is given by,
The LP is measured against a standard reference
pressure
, which is equivalent to zero decibels.
![Page 77: air and noise pollution environmental protection and control](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021502/58e4af171a28ab1c1f8b49a7/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Day-night equivalent noise levels (Ldn):
The day night equivalent noise levels of a community
can be expressed as
where,
Ld = day-equivalent noise levels (from 6AM - 9 PM), dB
Ln = night equivalent noise levels (from 9 PM - 6 AM), dB

IS14000
• ISO 14000 is a family of standards related to environmental
management that exists to help organizations
1. minimize how their operations (processes, etc.) negatively
affect the environment (i.e., cause adverse changes to air,
water, or land)
2. comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other
environmentally oriented requirements
• ISO 14000 is similar to ISO 9000 quality management in
that both pertain to the process of how a product is
produced, rather than to the product itself.
![Page 110: air and noise pollution environmental protection and control](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021502/58e4af171a28ab1c1f8b49a7/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
ISO 14000 refers to a series of standards on environmental
management tools and systems. ISO 14000 deals with a
company's system for managing its day-to-day operations
and how they impact the environment.
1. The Environmental Management System and
Environmental Auditing address a wide range of issues
to include the following:
2. Top management commitment to continuous
improvement, compliance, and pollution prevention.
3. Creating and implementing environmental policies,
including setting and meeting appropriate targets.
4. Integrating environmental considerations in operating
procedures.

5. Training employees in regard to their environmental
obligations.
6. Conducting audits of the environmental management
system.
