Schemes were prepared for the modification of existing pulse cleaning system of the bag filter as well as modifications of the gas distribution system inside the bag filter and the positioning of the gas bypass ducts on the furnace stack.
With the modification of the pulse cleaning system of Bag Filter alone the performance of the Bag Filter has already been improved and stabilized quite considerably.
Another remarkable success for the air pollution control at the packing machines of a chemical plant (very critical application).
The existing Bag Filter has been modernized and the system design has been modified.

On July 01, 2009 Shyamal commissioned an improvised two stage scrubbing system successfully at a chemical plant in India. The simple equipment has been designed by Shyamal with two in one concept. In the first stage solid dust particulates are separated from the gas medium and in the second stage inside the same vertical tower the gas is absorbed.
The absorption liquid falls into the settling tank at the bottom of the tower. The clear liquid overflows to the re-circulation tank (all in one) from where it is re-circulated for further absorption.
This is a very interesting successful on-the-Job R&D activity. Control of dust and gas evolving from the same process normally require two separate systems with elaborate arrangements. Investments for such projects are always quite high compared to the simple two in one equipment designed by him.
Similar concepts, if developed further, can be utilized to control fly ash as well as Carbon dioxide from the boiler fume in one simple equipment so as to minimize greenhouse gas emission in addition to control of fly ash resulting into reduction in global warming and climate change.
