The study involves the development of theoretical performance background of a newly developed multi-cyclones fine particulate emission control system named as MR-deDuster. The theoretical background of the unit was developed based on the modifications of established design equations available in literatures. The Leith & Licht model and modified Lapple model with different definitions of maximum radial distance travelled by a particulate ( W ) were used to predict the performance of the unit under various volumetric gas flow rate ranging from 0.13 to 0.21 m 3 /s. The result reveals significant differences among predictions, but yet all the predictions approve the capability of the unit to capture the particulate matter, especially the fine size fraction.
