There are many kinds of the microscopic particles that float in the air. They are vary greatly in their ability to affect not only visibility and climate but also our health and quality of life. The microscopic particles in the air are widely known as an aerosol. The measurement and control of particulate pollutants in the occupational and general environments require application of aerosol technology. <br /> <br /> <br /> This research is intended to describes aerosol technology application to control air pollution. One of these technology applications is fabric filter equipments. This report is written into two main parts, they are experimental and numerical method. <br /> <br /> <br /> In the experimental method part, it is examined 6 kinds of fabric filter that have different value of face permeability, fiber diameter and characteristic. As a result, the cotton filter has the highest filtration efficiency (>70 %) among others,.. but its pressure drop coefficient is higher than others. The performance of the fabric filter depends on filtration velocity, dust concentration, filtration time, nature of the fabric filter and characteristic of dust. <br /> <br /> <br /> In the numerical method part, it is studied the application of numerical method in optimization the face permeability. This optimization process is using Fluent/Release 4.21 program. The optimum value of face permeability is obtained when the value of pressure drop result from numerical simulation condition is closer to the value of pressure drop result from experimental condition. The optimum value of face permeability in aerosol flow condition is in the range of 5-10% from the value of face permeability in non-aerosol flow condition. <br />
