bag house
n.— «Santee Cooper officials recently boasted that, because of the permitting process, they have found ways to further reduce mercury emissions using a method called a bag house. The bag house, which would be an addition to environmental control measures already in place, is a common name for a technology that uses engineered fabric filter material to screen mercury from emissions.» —“Demand less mercury” Herald (Rock Hill, South Carolina) July 11, 2008.
