Industrial Ventilation Guide

The document provides guidance on fuel burning equipment and air pollution control systems. It includes recommended minimum capture velocities for adequate ventilation depending on the condition and generation of contaminants, ranging from 100 feet per minute for low-velocity releases to over 2000 feet per minute for high-velocity releases. It also lists recommended minimum duct design velocities depending on the nature of contaminants, from 1000 to over 5000 feet per minute for heavy or moist dusts.
