Description of the source (including control equipment). Please see the attachments for source or process flow diagram: Control Device: The control device is a pulse-jet baghouse. Flue Gas Flow Path: After exiting the boiler economizer, flue gas travels through a de-energized/non-functional precipitator before traveling through the air heater. After the air heater, the flue gas goes through the baghouse before exiting the stack Industry/SCC/NAIS 221112
