The aim of the work was the investigation of the impact of particulate matter PM collection installations, and the type of fuel being used, on the emission into the atmosphere of particulate matter PM and gas pollutants that come from the operation of the energy installation in the food processing plant. The plant uses electricity from the grid for both production and social purposes. Thermal energy is produced locally using coal, and high-methane natural gas fired boilers. The heat generated is mainly used for technological purposes, in the form of steam supplied for individual production processes. The work presents results of pollutant emission measurements from the power equipment used during the period of time between years 2014 to 2017. The collected data are interpreted by means regression analysis and graphically presented. Annual emissions before and after installation of dedusting equipment at the plant were also compared.
